Y’all, the NHL trade deadline just gave us the biggest gut punch of the year. If you’ve been anywhere near Sens’ X in the past 24 hours, you already know what’s up. Joshua Norris — Ottawa’s golden boy and Brady Tkachuk’s literal best friend for life — got traded to Buffalo Sabres, and let’s just say… feelings are being felt. This isn’t your average roster shake-up, this is full-on bromance heartbreak.
The boys over at Spittin’ Chiclets — aka the podcast you either love, hate, or hate-love — caught the scoop right from the source. On their March 7 episode, they dropped the clip that had every Sens fan reaching for the tissues. Brady Tkachuk, captain, got really emotional talking about Norris’ departure.

When asked how he felt about the trade, Brady gave us this absolute tearjerker of a quote: “Um, yeah. Yeah, it’s pretty tough. So yeah, I don’t want to. Yeah, it sucks. Losing a guy like that. Obviously, everybody knows how much it means to me. So yeah, next question.” And if you thought that was the end of the waterworks — buckle up.
When pressed for the why behind all those emotions, Brady doubled down, saying: “Yeah, I mean, just ,just our history. Yeah. So I’m just gonna keep short and sweet.” Locker room vibes are going to be different now. And the Sens? They just lost a huge piece of their core.
So what’s the backstory here? How did we even get to this tragic plot twist? Let’s break down the facts and all — because this trade wasn’t just about friendship feels, it was serious business.
It is a developing story.
