Brady Tkachuk will play alongside his brother next season after a blockbuster NHL trade.
The Senators agreed to send the 26-year-old veteran winger to the Panthers for Florida’s two first-round picks this year (ninth and 25th), their first-round pick in 2029 and second in 2030, according to multiple reports.
Brady, a three-time All-Star, will join his brother Matthew Tkachuk with the Panthers.
The duo won a gold medal together with Team USA earlier this year at the Olympics.
Earlier in the day, the Panthers dealt Mackie Samoskevich to the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2026 first and a 2027 second round pick, which ultimately set the stage for this blockbuster deal afterwards.
Brady Tkachuk had 22 goals and 37 assists for Ottawa this past season, which saw the club swept by thee eventual Stanley Cup champions Carolina Hurricanes.
Tkachuk, 26, has two seasons left on his seven-year, $57.5 million deal, which he originally signed with the Senators in 2021.
The contract does have a full no movement clause, but according to The Athletic, he provided Ottawa a four-team list of preferred destinations, including Florida, the Las Vegas Golden Knights, Carolina Hurricanes and Minnesota Wild.
He is contract extension eligible next summer.
The Senators are coming off a dissapointing playoff run, in which they were swept by the Hurricanes in Round 1, which followed a 4-2 opening round loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs last season.
The Panthers finished a disappointing 40-38-4 and out of the playoffs last season after winning two straight Stanley Cups.
