Florida Panthers Acquire Brady Tkachuk

     Ottawa Senators center Brady Tkachuk has been traded to the Florida Panthers. The Cats sent back two 2026 first-round picks, ninth overall and 25th overall to Ottawa. In addition, the Senators get a 2027 second-round selection and a conditional 2029 first-round selection.
     He is the brother of Florida Panthers right wing Matthew Tkachuk. Both contributed to the United States winning the 2026 gold medal in ice hockey for the first time in 46 years. 
     Tkachuk was the fourth overall selection in the 2018 NHL Draft. He compiled 213 goals and 250 assists for 463 points in 572 NHL games during eight seasons with the Sens. Tkachuk was eventually elevated to become the Senators captain later in his tenure there. 
     Brady Tkachuk's brother Matthew Tkachuk was acquired by the Panthers from the Calgary Flames prior to the 2022-23 season. Florida has captured two Stanley Cup titles and three Eastern Conference championships since Tkachuk arrived in South Florida. 
     The Tkachuk family has a long connection with the National Hockey League. Matthew's and Brady's father is Keith Tkachuk and their cousin is former Florida Panthers center Tom Fitzgerald.
