Confirmed Trade: [FLA/OTT] Brady Tkachuk for two 2026 1st round picks (9th, 25th OA), c. 2029/30 1st round pick (top 10 protected), 2027 2nd round pick

[bossram]

We all could see this coming. Zito added more picks this morning to make it happen. And bang, here it is.

Florida wants to be a dynasty.

 

[PizzaTime]

Most ogre looking team in NHL history?

 

[sampollock]

I guess Fla is not a bottom feeder right leaf fans

 

[Empoleon8771]

Honestly this feels more like a situation where they knew Tkachuk wasn't going to re-sign in 2028 and wanted to cash in now rather than Tkachuk demanding a trade like Larkin or Hellebuyck. Could be entirely wrong but that's the vibe I get.

 

[Theosis]

It's f***ing weird how brothers always seem to need to play on the same team. Do they also sleep in bunkbeds on road trips?

Probably same bed

 

[BB88]

He is but that doesn’t make him a bad player.

Also he’s not going to be the guy in Florida

There’s Barkov and everyone respects the hell out of him

 

[Malkinstheman]

Robertson to the Sens now maybe?

 

[Palaeontologists]

Is Ottawa rebuilding if the return is entirely picks? If so could someone like Spence or Sanderson be on the market? Just a hypothetical.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Don’t draft Americans if you are a small market team. they don’t have the usual loyalties as canadians do to their draft team. Americans act like it’s the NBA

 

[MasterMatt25]

Honestly he had a NMC, and Ottawa knew he didn't want to stay. Get that return and rip off the bandaid. A top 10 first is always good. Ottawa did the best they could here

 

[PromisedLand]

all the ottawa fans that were saying "Matthews is leaving" looks like its Brady thats leaving.... just stating the obvious. Don't shoot the messenger

Is Brady playing goal?

 

[Leafshater67]

gotta be the biggest loser family in hockey

not in terms of team success. Brady will get his cup ring now too on the Florida super team

 

[Pavelski2112]

This is so f***ing funny

I love seeing people so mad

 

[TheImpatientBoomer]

Zito overpaid on this one...
Rare misstep from the best GM but this team is nasty.

We still need a goalie though.

 

[Jozay]

Good trade for the Panthers. Sucks for the Sens fans.

 

[eXile3]

Yeah I don’t necessarily hate this for the Sens. Brady is a good player but he doesn’t drive play. There will be good talent at 9 and that future 1st could fall anywhere.

I think it’s good for the Panthers as well. Seems like a win, win.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Holy shit.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Rough for Sens and their fans

 

[Miami Wice]

Wow- nice to see Florida trying to build super team type of team even with hardcap.

Need more superteams in NHL

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Yassss that’s what I’m talmbout

 

[KniesMadeBradyCry]

BAHAHAHAHAH. First the oilers, then the sens go and do this! Hahahaha. Trading him for peanuts.

 

[BB88]

3 1sts seem really steep if one of those is a top 10 pick

Not really, 25th overall is a complete mystery box and everyone knew Florida wasn’t going to use that pick for draft

With how this season ended it was almost like a free top10 pick and they run away with Tkachuk

 

[Brain Crush]

He was one of the main reasons it was sucking lol

All they got is picks for a first-line power forward. Granted he seemed like an ass of a person but they didn't even get a single player.
