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

[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.

Unions are too powerful now this is why this is happening in my opinion. NMC clauses are killing teams and fans bases are getting pissed.

A clause the team could use against a player is its nullified if they ask for a trade. NMC was designed to protect the player from the team, and not to hold them hostage.

You can give nmc with a mntc.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Overpayment imo, dammit..

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Here's a thought, does Ottawa make a big play for Alex Tuch in free agency??

He is not Brady Tkachuk but he's good enough that he could fill that huge void in their top 6, then with the assets they acquired maybe they actually come out ahead in the end.

Sort of like how Florida struggled for years and finally broke through in 2024

East is 100% going to run through FLA and CAR for at least the next couple seasons unless Kucherov/Vasi can figure out how to be consistent in the playoffs again

Cats vs canes no contest. Cats in 5.

Montreal also isn’t too far behind there. Florida for sure has the smallest window but their window is legit. I just think this premature it’s over for Florida thing is hilarious

 

[Walksss]

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.

Somebody get this guy another drink.

Depends, we're not even sure who's going to be in goal for FLA

I'm taking Bussi over Bobrovsky in a 7 game series without hesitation

I’d get myself a shot, but if I had more than 12
I’d be outshooting Montreal.

 

[JungleBeat]

He already trashed Matthew’s current teammates.

Who

Bussi has played one year in the NHL, we’ll see how he is when the book is out next year. We’ve seen this so many times. Taking him over Bob is wild lol unless you believe he’s cooked from age.

 

[Devonator]

I think it is a bit of an over payment but one thing is for sure....the Panthers are a better team tonight and the Sens are a weaker team....I think Florida is likely heading back to the cup injuries notwithstanding....

 

[Ford Prefect]

I wonder if Sens fans are rethinking this last memory of Brady....

Humility must not be your strong suit, huh?

Not at all. Cups make you arrogant. So I’m an ass.

Lmao fair enough.

That's exactly why he's cooked, he's at the age where you just fall off a cliff and it started last year, the team in front of him was worse but he was also very clearly declining

 

[Nostradumba55]

He went ppg last season

Imagine line of Tkachuk- Bennett- Tkachuk, what on earth is that going to be…..

 

[Vegaspunk]

Humility must not be your strong suit, huh?

Panthers fans had to put up with decades of being told they shouldn't even have a team so hard to blame them for seizing the moment, there's no lamer trash talk than "haha your team is gonna relocate"

If the Jackets ever win a Cup I won't fault their fans for doing the same

 

[CuJoBin]

No it wasn't. Ottawa got shafted. One of the worst trades in the history of the league.

One of the worst posts in the history of the thread

I mean I can agree that he may very well be cooked, but going with Bussi and Kochetkov is a little concerning but the hurricanes have a very strong D that limits chances so that helps

Thank you. Perfectly stated.

 

[Booker T]

Love this trade for both teams.

Especially love this for Florida, making moves to improve while most teams FO are old bitches.
