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

[Fantomas]

Why don't we just send all the best NHL players to Florida.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

The wildcard is that 9 th overall pick you can get a franchise player there it's a deep draft.

This might end up being solid for Ottawa eventually, but they need to really get the picks right and who knows if they will.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Yes. They’re draft picks or trade bait.

Larkin?

 

[GoldenSeal]

You saw a cup final that featured Carter Hart, Freddy Andersen and Brandon Bussi.

At this point, you need serviceable goaltending to win a cup

Bob in a Cat's sweater says MEOW.

LETS GO CATS!!

 

[GoldenSeal]

Blues would NEVER had paid this, omfg, Good job Cats!

They were cornered with the dreaded nmc clause .

No question Ottawa has some holes in the lineup to fill, with over $25 million in cap space.

Line 1 LW ? C Stutzle RW Batherson
Line 2 LW ? C Cozens RW Greig
Line 3 LW ? C Pinto RW Amadio
Line 4 LW Foegele C Halliday RW Zetterlund

1st Pair LD Sanderson RD Zub
2nd Pair LD Chabot RD Spence
3rd Pair LD Kleven RD Yakemchuk

Goalies:
Starter: Ullmark
Backup: Merilainen

Scratches:
LW MacDermid
RD Matinpalo

The Sens to be light down the left flank.

Maybe they can entice a few LWs via UFA LW Mantha, LW Marchment or even LW Anders Lee.

Such an easy player to dislike. Seems like a good fit for Florida though.
Cats are in win-now mode as long as Barkov is on prime. After that it's a complete rebuild so this sort of makes sense for them.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

If we’re going to be miserable, at least we’re taking the other teams in our division with us. You don’t get to be happy.

2nd round pick for Debrusk as a 2nd/3rd line winger.

 

[Gizmokov]

Why don't we just send all the best NHL players to Florida.

I mean, we kinda have to keep Ekblad so there’s that

 

[Plural]

Grasping at straws. Marchand isn’t a big personality? He’s bigger than both combined and fit right in. Barkov runs this team and everyone knows it. He loves that Chucky, and now Brady and Marchand, grab the spotlight.

I agree. So far Barkov seems to have no issues in being the man in that team. Both brothers together might prove to be a handful of douchebagery to deal with. But I have full confidence in Barkov being able to handle it.

 

[swiftwin]

Ottawa fans are realistic, they know that winning now is not possible. Ottawa can’t compete with the top teams in the East.

Smart thing would be to sell everyone and rebuild.

Lmao, Ottawa can absolutely compete. They are a very young team. Most of the core is under 26. They managed to make the playoffs despite an insane amount of injuries, adversity and historically bad goaltending. There's no reason they aren't in it again next year.

Why the f*** would they rebuild now, with such a young core, because they had to trade their 3rd best player?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

2nd round pick for Debrusk as a 2nd/3rd line winger.

That’s it, that’s all that’s available.

 

[swiftwin]

I can promise you Florida is not scared in the slightest of Carolina lmao give it a rest

Focus on making the playoffs first.

Blake Coleman? Farabee? Huberdeau even maybe?

 

[tmurfin]

Fine, fine, they can have all 3

Why would they not be scared of the reigning Stanley cup winners? Every team is.

You realize we don’t mean actually “scared” in the way a 5 year old is scared there are monsters under there bed. We mean “scared” as Carolina is obviously the top dog in the league and will be for several years to come.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

How long before big Keith trashes his sons Brady's former teammates?

Lmao because Florida has dummied them every time they played them. They’re not scared. Carolina is not the top dog for the next several years lmao be for real.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

How the f*** do you go from Carter Verhaeghe to a bunch of bullshit picks?

Does Verhaeghe have a NMC? Ottawa is usually on the no-go list for most players.

 

[ginner classic]

Seriously doesn't get more depressing than this
Yashin, Chara, Heatley, Havlat, Spezza, Zibanejad, Stone, Karlsson, Hoffman, and now Tkachuk... prolly gonna be more coming soon too

At least they got the best years of Alfredsson before he left to Detroit

Well the team is cursed becaused the team's fans (fully grown adults) are using the word 'prolly'. Still. In 2026.

Who just won the cup?

 

[FinlandPanther]

Who just won the cup?

Congratulations, a team that has struggled for 9 years broke through. Wow! Florida has been to 3 finals and won 2 cups. Convenient you forgot. And they also just reloaded their talent pool.
