  Aug 15, 202639 min

  The Senators have plenty of intriguing storylines as training camp approaches. In this episode, Steve and Gregg discuss Carter Yakemchuk who now has his best opportunity yet to earn a full-time NHL job , after being one of Ottawa’s final training-camp cuts in each of the past two seasons. The guys also look at some interesting revelations from the Senators’ latest Breakaway documentary, including the draft-night trade offers Steve Staios turned down from Vancouver and Pittsburgh , where Ottawa had Jonas Lagerberg Hoen ranked internally, and why the Senators selected him before Jaxon Cover.

  Aug 10, 202647 min

  The Senators are getting closer to training camp. We look at some of the remaining free agents who might make sense on a PTO, including Vladimir Tarasenko, Patrik Laine, and Michael Bunting. We also discuss the five Senators with the most to prove in 2026-27, whether it's time for a deep look into Canada’s 33-year Stanley Cup drought, and whether the Sens would prefer to wait until next month to negotiate new contracts when the NHL’s maximum contract term drops from eight years to seven.Also on the show: the Senators are shut out of NHL.com’s top 20 winger rankings, although a former Senator made the list. Jake Sanderson gets high marks for the D rankings. And to kick it off, Kelly Hrudey is out at Sportsnet.

  Travis Green Was 'A Little Bit' Mad About Tkachuk News, Jordan Spence Says It Will Make Them Better

  Jul 31, 202650 min

  We've got plenty to break down in this episode of the Jim Keay Ford Sens Nation Podcast.Travis Green spoke publicly about Brady Tkachuk's departure, admitting he was "a little bit mad" and "a little bit surprised" by the captain's decision to leave Ottawa. We discuss Green's comments and whether Jordan Spence is right when he says Tkachuk's exit could actually make the Senators a better team. We also dive into the blockbuster contract signed by Macklin Celebrini in San Jose. At just 20 years old, Celebrini lands a five-year deal worth $18.8 million per season. What does that mean for the next wave of NHL stars, and just how fortunate are the Senators that Tim Stützle and Jake Sanderson signed long-term extensions before salaries exploded? Speaking of Sanderson, Boston Bruins star Charlie McAvoy had some glowing praise for Ottawa's No. 1 defenceman on the Wingmen Podcast Also on this episode: Former Senator Colin White gets another NHL opportunity with the New Jersey Devils. Senators prospect Lucas Beckman takes another step toward representing Canada at the World Juniors by earning an invitation to the World Junior Summer Showcase. The Columbus Blue Jackets make another disappointing decision for hockey fans by eliminating a separate radio broadcast in favour of simply simulcasting the television feed.

  Who's In The Top Six? Can The Senators Stay Afloat In The Deep Atlantic?

  Jul 28, 202637 min

  In this episode, we discuss whether the Senators are still likely to be a playoff team in a very difficult Atlantic Division. We each choose our top six forwards. The first four are easy; the last two are not. What we won't miss about Brady Tkachuk this season. With Tkachuk gone and Kurtis MacDermid seldom used, do the Senators need to add more toughness? And why rostering three NHL goalies is a bad idea.
