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

[BusQuets]

Adding a weak playoff performer is kind of an odd move for the Panthers when they're trying to win now though

If he has problems in the playoff florida will just put him next to Barkov and Brady will probably win the conn smythe.

 

[CH25]

Can the league block this trade. This has to be a joke

 

[FlameChampion]

Bill Zito takes no prisoners

Its easy to GM when players demand you come to your team. I hope Zito replaces Chevaldayoff one day so we can see how he actually GM’s.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

The entire 2026 team USA Olympic squad just gonna keep requesting trades or what lmao

Hugest bunch of prima donna p***yes in hockey history.

 

[The Burdened]

If I'm honest, Brady seems redundant for the Panthers with that price tag.
I don't know if it excites me for either team

 

[Matt24]

Waiting for someone to draw a line between politics and marquee American players wanting out of Canada at an unprecedented level. I won’t do it but someone will.

 

[MM425]

I'm just surprised it's all picks and not a single roster player.

Yeah I would view this as completely unacceptable as a Sens fan.

You’ve made a division opponent stronger without giving up a roster player. Lundell not coming back the other way (for example) is just bad business and sends a terrible message to your team.

 

[GKJ]

They're not rebuilding and the only confirmed high pick is the 9th overall. This package isn't all that unless they're able to swing it for something concrete which uh, good luck, because you're f***ing Ottawa.

Who said they’re rebuilding?

 

[joepeps]

Top Canadian player need to start refusing to stay in USA... Let them have the shit player and USA or other country players... f*** em

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

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

We still need a goalie though.

Igor or Hellebuyck trade incoming

 

[Mnsportsfan22]

Didn't the US players get booed during the national anthem at the 4 nations? Now Canadian fans are upset the same players aren't showing canada teams respect? Yeah you are getting what you deserve and its hilarious!!

 

[thaman8765678]

Brady Tkachuk is an awful captain. How do you be a captain and then ditch your team?

Trash person.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

so Florida's next 1st is in 2030

That's crazy

 

[Leo2Cutter]

He has an NMC, they had no choice

This wave of American players are a bunch of losers, running from the grind to go and ease it out in Florida

“Olympic gold medal winner American players” to you buddy

 

[Cats2TheCup]

HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM BILL ZITO

 

[Beerz]

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

We still need a goalie though.

They stole Tkachuk

 

[Gizmokov]

I’m assuming Bob is coming back

 

[Palaeontologists]

Who's gonna be the whistleblower and leak the team USA group chat.

 

[BB88]

We getting a goalie for two 2nds or 2nd + prospect?
Bob cant get more than 4 years.

I mean goalies carry the least trade value

I bet Binnington is now the target for Bill

 

[Empoleon8771]

Honestly I'm not even sure I understand this trade for Florida either. They now have $7 million in cap space without having a goalie and trading all of their 1sts until 2030. Even if they fill out their skaters with Schwindt and Sebrango for $1.6 million combined, are you getting competent goaltending whatsoever for $5.4 million? I'm pretty skeptical about it.

It doesn't matter if they have the rattiest team ever between Bennett, Marchand and the Tkachuk bros if their goalies are giving them an .850 save%.

 

[Vegaspunk]

As we just saw with Marner, it's a lot different to be the 2nd best forward on a team as opposed to more of a depth role. Brady is going to thrive in Florida with the amount of talent they have and no pressure on him.

That's fair it's also a lot easier to run around when you've got Barkov taking care of the other side of the ice

 

[Rob Brown]

They'll be partying at that Big Walt's tonight.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Tkachuk has no shame and no honour, NO LEGACY after he bails on his team when he gets shut out like a total bitch!

 

[seafoam]

Christ…

 

[Brain Crush]

Who said they’re rebuilding?

So how does losing your top-line forward for picks help them when they're already a bubble team as is and got lapped by almost everyone in the division?
