NHL: DEC 07 Predators at Senators - Source: Getty
The New York Rangers and Ottawa Senators are still dealing with the aftereffects of recent Brady Tkachuk trade rumors, according to NHL insider Pierre LeBrun.
The controversy started when Larry Brooks of The New York Times reported that the Rangers had made Tkachuk their no. 1 trade target. The Senators immediately tried to shut down the speculation online, but things escalated when Senators owner Michael Andlauer accused the Rangers of "soft tampering" and firmly denied the rumor's validity.
Speaking on SC with Jay Onrait, LeBrun said lingering hard feelings remain between the two teams.
“I think there's still hard feelings. The Rangers are pretty upset, as you can tell in their statement that they released, completely denying the tampering charges. There's a lot to unwrap here.”
