Tkachuk was the last remaining RFA on the market and there was concern that he would miss a notable portion of the regular season. However, the two sides have finally reached an agreement and now Tkachuk can finally start playing for them. According to Frank Seravalli, he likely won't be playing in Ottawa's season opener, but will be in attendance.

Expectation is Brady Tkachuk will NOT play tonight with #Sens in opener but will be in the building. @DFOHockey

Tkachuk is a very important player for the Senators and now that he's locked up long-term, there's a very good chance that he will be named their next captain. He not only produces well offensively, but also plays a very physical game.

In 56 games last season with the Senators, Tkachuk scored 17 goals and recorded 36 points. Over his three-year career thus far, he has 60 goals, 65 assists, 125 points and 250 penalty minutes in 198 games.

Now, hockey fans, how do you feel about the contract? Let us know in the comments!
