Senators trade Tkachuk, eye potential deal for Jason Robertson

The Ottawa Senators traded Brady Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers on June 22, creating an opening in their lineup. They are now considering a move for Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson, who had a standout season with 45 goals and 51 assists. The Stars are seeking to negotiate a long-term extension for Robertson, but salary cap constraints complicate the situation. As July 1 approaches, the potential for a trade increases, with the Senators positioned to make a significant offer. A trade involving Robertson could occur around June 29 to avoid unrestricted free agency implications.
