With just eight days until training camp, the Ottawa Senators continue to negotiate with restricted free agent winger

Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia writes it's "believed" the Senators have offered an eight-year, $64 million contract to the 21-year-old. That offer would tie Tkachuk for the team's biggest cap hit at $8 million with defenceman who signed an identical extension that kicked in last year.

Tkachuk scored 17 goals and added 19 assists in 56 games last season. He has 60 goals and 65 assists in 198 career NHL games since being selected fourth overall by the Senators in the 2018 draft.

Ottawa continues to amaze me with their ability to shell out contracts to players who haven't earned them.

Brady continues to make a living off his last name.
