Chapter 1: What happened over the weekend in sports?
You're listening to Halford & Brough.
I feel like I've answered this hundreds of times that I have been fully committed to this team, to the city, and it's just becoming a distraction, frustrating to deal with.

Chapter 3: What was the impact of Brady Kachuk's trade on the NHL?
The timing could not be any better. The timing could not be any better for your inclusion into the show. I don't know if this was the God's blessing us to get one of the eight Ottawa Senators fans in the city right here on the program. But I got to ask you, when you heard this news come down yesterday, what was your immediate response?
It's been a long time coming, honestly. Like, I think it's one of those things where after the playoff run, the body language, he's not seemed like he wanted to actually be the leader of the franchise.
If you're a captain, that is how you conduct yourself both on and off the ice. And I think the reporting coming out that players in the locker room were pushing for this to get done doesn't shock me whatsoever. I think that he is much better suited to be the sixth best player on a team than he is one of the actual best players on a team.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong here, Zach, but it feels like, Zach, and maybe some other Ottawa Senators fans, maybe a tad upset with the former captain. Like, on a scale of 1 to 10, how pissed are you at Brady Kachuk?
I think pretty. I don't think it's quite, you know, John Tavares level, but I think that he will get a very poor welcome back to the CTC. Something like Brad Marchand coming back to Rogers. You quit on the team. You were the captain. You were supposed to be the leader, and you walked out when the time got tough because you weren't good enough.
So is the number you're pissed to higher than Brady Kachuk can count to? And by that I mean like a six or a seven? Yeah, something like that for sure. So Sens Central reports, and I don't know who these guys are, but
says uh i'm doing some digging and players felt like brady was a completely different teammate after the olympics never hanging out off ice checked out vibes and then send central added good riddance um and then they added now that now that reminds me of quinn hughes Not all of it, but there were times, certainly as a fan, watching Quinn Hughes on the ice in Vancouver earlier this season.
I was like, yeah, this guy's checked out.

Chapter 4: How does Brady Kachuk's trade affect the Ottawa Senators' future?
You correctly mentioned it several times. And then people were like, oh, now you're a body language expert. And I would respond, yes, I've been a human being for 50 years and I've picked up a few things. Well, did you see the, I'm sorry, Renaud. Renaud Lavoie, I've got it in front of me. If you don't want to continue to butcher every part of this. Do it. Renaud. I'm sorry.
Keep going, buddy.
It's me. At least it's not Renaud Nguyen. Renaud Lavoie from TVA writes for the senators to trade Brady Kachuk. It means they are under pressure to do so. I'm told this pressure was also coming from the team's locker room. This strongly explains why they agreed to trade him to a team in his own division.
Brady Kachuk will have been a controversial captain in Ottawa, and the big losers on this day are the New York Rangers, who dreamed of getting their hands on him.
We're also told, I mean, another way of wording it, told by multiple sources the dressing room was not pushing for Brady to stay. Translated, they did not like him.
Well, I think if you've got... And the goaltending, what was his name? Allmark. Allmark. That was a big one. You're really helping out today, aren't you?
I am a reporter.
Why don't you just turn your mic off for a bit? That's what it was part of. Someone go get him a juice box. He'll be fine. So who's next among the American players? I mean, Dylan Larkin, he's not asking out of a Canadian market, but he's asking to go to at least somewhere with...

Chapter 5: What is the current sentiment among NHL players regarding Canadian teams?
one of his American teammates. Detroit is, however, one of the more Canadian American markets. That's true. He's like, it's pretty close to Canada. It's got this bridge that's like, it's a hop, skip, and a jump. All the Buffalo guys are like, I got to get out of here. Connor Hellebuck in Winnipeg. What a surprise that he comes back from the Olympics and wow, was he good over there.
And he's the main reason that they won the gold medal, certainly the gold medal game. And then all of a sudden it sounds like, you know, all of a sudden he has that press conference at the end of the season. It's like, what the... What's going on? That was bizarre. And then, you know, I don't know about the future of Austin Matthews in Toronto, but... No, and I'm getting a clear picture of it.
I'll tell you that. Well, who knows? I mean, you know, not everyone, just because they're American doesn't mean that they're going to want out. But, you know, he's a guy that I think people are going to wonder about more and more now. And with the draft coming up on Friday...
it's not a particularly strong draft for Americans, but there are a couple of players expected to go in the top 10 chase read the defensive and being one of them. And it will be interesting to see if any of the Canadian teams drafted an American in the first round on Friday. I mean, this is, I know you're going to talk about player empowerment and there is definitely an element of that, right?
Players are taking control of their future and, But this one has a specific slant to it. This is American players who, for whatever reason, and there could be multiple reasons, don't want to play in Canada. And it is very, very clear to me that something happened over in Italy that They all got together and were like, yeah, let's do this.
We can run the league. I think that's what they said.
Let's have a movement here. And it's not good for Canadian teams because you know what's not happening is Canadian players in the United States going, oh yeah, well, I'm going back to Canada. I love the cold in high Texas. Well, the hope is that one day some might, particularly ones playing in, I don't know, Chicago and San Jose, for example, would maybe return home one day.
But we can talk about that later because that's further down the road. You got to remember, too, though, like the only reason I say we need to look at this as a full bodied exercise and not and not just focus on the American part of it, although it's hard not to right now. It's like Mitch Marner left, right? Mitch Marner is a Canadian.
He left a Canadian team to go to an American market where you had all the advantages as his American counterparts playing in a tax free state, playing in a warm climate, not having the media scrutiny. And they got to the Stanley Cup final. And, you know, had they won it, Mitch probably would have been the consummate winner.
