    Senators Hit September: How Important Is That Eighth Year For Batherson?

    2026-09-02 | 45 mins.
    September is here, and that means the return of Sens hockey. Will Drake Batherson get an eight-year extension before the September 15 deadline?
    Steve Warne and Gregg Kennedy discuss whether letting the deadline pass would really be cause for concern. Should the Sens lock him up now or later? Or is there a chance that one side is thinking about other possibilities?
    With training camp approaching, we also discuss:
    • Is the Senators’ opening-night roster already set, with players mostly competing for roles?
    • Why Jake Sanderson makes sense as Ottawa’s next captain, and what should matter when choosing a leader.
    • NHL player power: for star players, has a no-movement clause basically become an out clause?
    • Could Tyler Kleven eventually challenge for a spot in the top four?
    • Ottawa’s September calendar, the prospects challenge in Gatineau, and physical defenceman Gabriel Eliasson.
    What do you think will happen with Batherson, and does it line up with what you want to happen? Let us know in the comments.

    Tim Stutzle Weighs In On Former Captain’s Exit

    2026-08-24 | 35 mins.
    Tim Stützle has finally addressed Brady Tkachuk’s departure, saying the Senators will miss their former captain but must now focus on the players who want to be in Ottawa. Steve and Gregg react to Stützle’s comments and officially attempt to put further discussion of the trade behind them.
    The guys also examine the pressure facing Travis Green after two straight playoff appearances—and whether simply making the postseason will still be enough this year.
    Plus, could NHL expansion lead to an expanded playoff format? And former Senator Zdeno Chara celebrates his career with an emotional “final shift” in Slovakia.
