Senators Announce New Captain After Brady Tkachuk Trade
The Ottawa Senators have named Thomas Chabot their new captain after trading Brady Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers.
The Ottawa Senators have made a significant offseason move by trading their former captain, Brady Tkachuk, to the Florida Panthers. With the upcoming season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 3, the Senators have announced their new captain. The choice to select defenseman Thomas Chabot as the 11th captain in the team's history may not come as a surprise.
Chabot has been a prominent leader within the team for several seasons, making his appointment as the latest captain a natural choice. Entering the 2026-27 season in his 11th year with the Senators, the Sainte-Marie, Quebec native was drafted by Ottawa in the first round of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, 18th overall. During his career, Chabot has appeared in 569 games, tallying 78 goals, 257 assists, and 335 points, while also recording 553 hits and 893 blocks.
It will be intriguing to observe how Chabot leverages his established career statistics as the Senators' new captain.
