Cheers to following this story for eight months, a strong finish and the days ahead. Hard work pays off. Forget the dumb haters. Thanks for all the people who have congratulated me on being on top of this story. Postmedia led this wire to wire.

Brady Tkachuk on capacity limits: "I wish it was a full crowd for tomorrow's match. I know the province has put in rules to keep people safe ... It sucks. I just wish they gave people the choice on the decision to come to games instead of just kind of taking it away."

Joey Daccord fights back tears when talking about the fact his family is from the West Island of Montreal. "I know my grandfather was trying to sneak into the building," says Daccord.

have Dadonov's NMC listed on their website how can the Knights not know? Contracts are registered with the league. Sounds like a team trying to force a player to waive to go where they don't want to go.

Ottawa forward Tim Stützle will celebrate his 19th birthday Friday by playing in his first NHL game at the Canadian Tire Centre in the Battle of Ontario.

Josh Norris is devastated by the shooting at a school in Oxford, Michigan yesterday. He's wearing the Oxford patch on his jacket today to let them know he's thinking about them. "You never really think something like this is going to happen in your hometown," said Norris.

Thomas Chabot was supposed to announce the club's No. 1 selection. He and Brady Tkachuk were told of the news of the DeBrincat trade in a group chat with Dorion. He got a checkmark ✅and ♥️ back.

The NHL will postpone games vs. New Jersey Tuesday along with Thursday vs. Nashville and Rangers here in Ottawa Saturday because of the COVID-19 outbreak with 10 players in protocol. The club has cancelled its flight to New Jersey.

have traded for Ullmark. The deal is in exchange for No. 25 overall, centre Mark Kastelic and goalie Joonas Korpisalo. Ottawa will retain 25 per cent.
The most active teams listening on their picks: No. 2 (New Jersey), No. 3 (Arizona Coyotes), No. 7 (Ottawa Senators) and No. 13 (New York Islanders). Lots of moving parts

Thanks to those who have reached out. I am saddened by this news and while trying to do my job also process this. Eugene wasn't just someone I worked with, he was a friend. That doesn’t always happen in our business. I’m thinking of Anna, Olivja and his partner Sharilyne.
Wouldn't it make more sense for the Arizona Coyotes, who will play in a 5,000-seat arena next season, to play five games in Quebec City if that's even been raised?

Believe Ottawa No. 3 pick Tim Stuetzle is closing in on an entry-level deal with the

. Indications are his release from Mannheim was granted today. This will clear him to be at camp after world juniors.
D.J. Smith on being No. 24 on the NHL's most handsome coach list: "It hurts. I asked my wife (Christie Bezaire) and she said I'm No. 1. I'm going to call my mom today and I expect she'll give me No. 1 then I can feel good again." He add: "I'm just happy to be one of 32."

DJ Smith on Gus The Bus: "We're in the business to win games and if the goalie is going to win games and play like that he's going to continue to play."

Will have more on this later but the Senators will elect to take winger Alex DeBrincat to arbitration at Thursday's 5 p.m. deadline. He doesn't want to sign here, the club can get a 15% discount on his $9 million contract if successful so it makes sense.

Captain Brady Tkachuk and winger Drake Batherson were among those that arrived in town on the weekend. Tim Stutzle will be here today. Informal skates at the Canadian Tire Centre are ramping up for the Ottawa Senators.
