Brady Tkachuk Pissed Off at Senators Management

Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk is sitting without a contract and the young star is wondering what the hell is taking Senators management so long. The soon-to-be 22-year-old is one of the best young players in the game and there's no doubt he should not have to wait this close to the season for a new deal.

My source tells me frustration has set in with the Tkachuk camp. Brady is trying to stay positive, but doesn't understand why it's taking so long. I asked what has been offered, and it was termed they have not received a legimate offer from the Sens. @TSN1200

Tkachuk without a legit contract offer makes no sense. He's coming off a season where he put up 36 points in 56 games and he's shown in the past he's capable of scoring 20 goals as a 19 and 20-year-old. 

With his fearless attitude and professional work ethic, many believe Tkachuk is bound to be the next captain of the Senators. Only one problem, management hasn't shown this type of commitment this summer. It's likely just a waiting game and they want to stand their ground as much as possible.

Senators fans are hoping Tkachuk doesn't miss any time when it comes to training camp or the regular season, as we've all seen how much a player can be behind when they miss significant time. Tkachuk is hopeful that won't be the case, but as it stands right now, it's certainly headed in that direction.
