Brady Tkachuk traded to Florida Panthers
Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk was traded to the Florida Panthers, reuniting him with his brother Matthew Tkachuk. Ottawa received the ninth overall and 25th overall picks in the 2026 NHL Draft, a 2029 first-round pick, and a 2030 second-round pick in return. Tkachuk, an eight-year NHL veteran with two 70-plus point seasons, gives Florida a physical top-six winger and power-play presence. The deal accelerates Florida's win-now push while converting Ottawa's current franchise leader into long-term draft capital and roster flexibility.
Brady Tkachuk, apparently in the process of being traded to Florida for three firsts and a second, is a great creator of offence, especially at 5v5; does not score, is an enormous idiot.
Micah McCurdy 30Some day I will have a way to sensibly measure the value of a player as a function of time from now to whenever, and then I could start to evaluate trades quantitatively. Better for this team at these times, for this team at those times; this much all up. Would be nice.
Prashanth Iyer19i prefer the term "Tkachucklefuck"
Mike Anton15Thanks for listing that intangible at the end
David Manning11They’re gonna put both brothers on the same team? Jesuschrist imma become such a hater right now
liamnowlan.bsky.social4The last part is the key word here
Karina3"enormous idiot" is somehow an understatement
Cindie Pal Cru3“Three firsts” followed by anything other than “just kidding!” has me falling out of my chair. Really?!
Activate the Queen (Peter)3His PieceOfShit/60 is off the charts
Jakub Dobes (1) had more playoff points for the Habs than Brady Tkachuk (0) in his final playoff run for the Sens
katagrins.bsky.social5This is my favourite stat from these playoffs

Corrado2A great deal for Ottawa and I’m still a little surprised by this inter-division trade. Glad he’s not coming to NJ!
To trade away one of your two best players — your captain, no less — and not get a single NHL player in return when you just emerged from damn near a decade of rebuilding is a massive kick in the teeth for Ottawa and its fans. The Brady Tkachuk trade to Florida is just brutal for the Sens.
SullivanHockey19As a fan, honestly: 1) let’s see what Staios does in the next two months with these new picks, 2) a lot of the fan base soured on Tkachuk since his conspicuous MAGA turn, 3) he’s arguably less valuable than Stützle and Sanderson, and maybe even a healthy Ullmark, and 4) it’s still hard to take in.
Miles Standoffish7Counterpoint: 3 Firsts for a locker room cancer and over rated player is pretty good.
Elliott 7Yes yes, it is Ottawa's fault that Brady is a little piss baby who can't handle being a top guy and so has to force his way onto a team where he can be the 4th best player and play golf every day and where the fans don't care.
rwtrask.bsky.social6That's one take... I guess. But removing cancer is rarely painless.
Corduroy Orbison3I agree with this but also Brady Tkachuk is a loser. I'm not sure you want to keep him around on a Canadian team. The return is baffling though.
The Oges3I will take restocking the bare draft cupboard over over keeping "Playoff Brady" who played like he was in a rush to get out of town so he could throw on a USA jersey and do podcasts with his brother.
TRADE ALERT: The #Sens have acquired the ninth overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, the 25th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, a 2027 second round pick, and a 2029 conditional first-round pick from the Florida Panthers in exchange for Brady Tkachuk.
Mike18admin... you're safe here ❤️
joe dan tony8Be safe sens admin 🤝
woodsbywater.bsky.social7Hopefully the picks can be flipped into a couple of top six wingers. Brady was good, but the league is full of good players. We need a couple of goal scorers who want to play in Canada.
Matta Jamesa Dew 🇵🇸 🇨🇦7Love this for you and us Go Sens Go
almacpain3Can I get a nameplate change would take a Cunneyworth
Anik 🇨🇦🐸3WOW MAGA wasn't worth much ... bye bye
64spring.bsky.social3Oh Boy- I was just thinking I couldn’t dislike the Panthers more than I do but here we are and now I can. Tried to stick up for the guy while he was playing with the #Sens . Not like he loved playing here anyways . My guess not too may fans sad to see him go.
Good riddance … Sens might regress a bit but happy to see Brady gone from the Senators. thescore.com/nhl/news/355...
🇨🇦SgC🇨🇦10Good riddance to him. Congrats to the Panthers on becoming this next seasons leader in taking stupid penalties by two of the leagues biggest clowns.
Lawrence Sauter9Happy to see him out of Canada 🇨🇦
Dr.P. in OTT5Especially after his appearance at Trump's birthday party / the U.S. 250 event and his multiple Insta posts about it. I'd like to think my replies to his posts were an apt send off to his Trump loving moron.
james-c-jensen.bsky.social3Sens fan here, won't miss him. They did alright when he was injured last season.
LesnielBC 🇨🇦🇩🇰2His landing spot is the least surprising thing ever. Maga tkachuk will love floriDUH.
hoyden27.bsky.social2Cannot stand this guy nor his brother. Their egos far outweigh their talent ... I don't care what anyone says.
Warren266 points per 82 GP, almost 30% of his goals on the power play for $8.2M. Sens now have over $25M in cap space and one major headache removed
John Lehman 🇨🇦2I just posted about this. I couldn't be happier. One of the most unlikeable players in the NHL. I can start watching Sens games again.
Per The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun, Brady Tkachuk could be headed to the Florida Panthers. The potential move would unite him with his brother, Matthew.
Man C8Those 3 1st round picks scored as many playoff points in 2026 as Brady
Local Man3All the Yanks don’t want to play in Canada anymore since they aren’t treated like princes.
Rocki Zimb 🏳️⚧️🌈 🇨🇦2Wow, never saw this coming. You mean he wants to play with his brother? We all knew this was gonna happen sooner or later. Ottawa should ask for Barkov or not do the trade.
if you listened to the puck soup podcast in recent months, i have been adamant that "brady tkachuk to the panthers" was a mortal lock for months. that's a classic #HowDoesHeDoIt
🦖rl🦕13also thinking about how florida now has an extra top-six forward on the roster, about $7m in cap space, and a roster spot to fill at no. 1 goalie...
met wife in illegal nba stream chat5Here’s my prediction, that 25th overall pick ends up with the Canucks somehow (DeBrusk?) and they take the Ruck twins at 24 and 25
