\t\t\t\tBrady Tkachuk<\/a> refused to play for at least one NHL team before his trade to the Florida Panthers.<\/p>\n

Tkachuk didn’t want to end up in St. Louis, a revelation that says plenty about his true intentions.<\/p>\n

The information comes from The Athletic’s Jeremy Rutherford.<\/p>\n

“The Senators’ Brady Tkachuk didn’t want to come to St. Louis,” the reporter said, revealing one destination the forward had ruled out.<\/p>\n

It shows just how limited the Ottawa Senators were in this situation.<\/p>\n

When a player closes the door on a city, it limits a team’s options in trade talks. And the fact that Tkachuk ruled out the St. Louis Blues – a club his father knows extremely well – says plenty.<\/p>\n

Rutherford also mentioned another name in the same discussion.<\/p>\n

Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson<\/a> also came up in offseason talks. But let’s get back to Tkachuk!<\/p>\n

Brady Tkachuk’s situation highlights the leverage star players can hold in trade negotiations<\/p>\n

These revelations show just how complicated blockbuster trades can be.<\/p>\n

Player preferences, no-trade lists and rejected cities all make negotiations more difficult.<\/p>\n

“There were conflicting reports about whether the Stars’ Jason Robertson was interested.”<\/p>\n

– Jeremy Rutherford, the Athletic<\/p>\n

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to believe Brady Tkachuk when he says he didn’t “force” the Senators to trade him specifically to the Florida Panthers.<\/p>\n

Whether or not Tkachuk explicitly demanded Florida, the emerging details suggest he had more influence over the process than he initially acknowledged.<\/p>\n

Brady Tkachuk, 26, has recorded 463 points in 572 NHL games, along with 821 penalty minutes.<\/p>\n
