Report: Brady Tkachuk tells Boston University he plans to sign with Sens

Another member of the Tkachuk family appears in line to make the NHL.

Brady Tkachuk reportedly informed Boston University head coach Albie O'Connell that he intends to sign a pro contract with the Ottawa Senators this season, according to ESPN's John Buccigross.

The forward was drafted fourth overall by the Senators in June and was expected to decide whether or not he would return to college by Sunday.

The 18-year-old is coming off his freshman year at Boston University, where he put up eight goals and 31 points in 40 games.

He'll become the latest Tkachuk to make his mark in the NHL after his father, Keith, and brother, Matthew (who plays for the Calgary Flames).
