The Tkachuk brothers won gold with Team USA together, and now it appears they’ll be chasing a Stanley Cup together after a reported blockbuster trade on Father’s Day.
The Ottawa Senators are reportedly close to trading Brady Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers, where his brother, Matthew, stars, according to multiple reports.
The Panthers’ package for Brady is reportedly their first-round picks in the 2026 NHL Draft as well as a 2029 first-round pick and a 2030 second-round pick.
Brady, 26, was a trade candidate entering this offseason, as he has two years remaining on his seven-year, $57.5 million contract he signed with the Senators. He tallied 59 points last season (29 goals), helping the Senators get back to the playoffs.
The Senators also lost in the first round in 2025 to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Unfortunately for Ottawa, they were swept by the eventual Stanley Cup-champion Carolina Hurricanes, which happens to be one of the teams he was willing to go to in a trade.
Brady also reportedly had the Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild on his list of teams he’d be willing to join, per TSN.
The Senators named Brady their team captain ahead of the 2021-22 season – the same year he signed his contract.
Now, Brady will look to bring the chemistry with his brother, leadership and physical play he showcased earlier this year at the Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina to the Panthers.
Brady played a pivotal role in helping Team USA capture gold over Team Canada in historic fashion during the Winter Olympics. He tallied three goals and five total points during the tournament.
The Panthers get a major upgrade on their roster following a year when they missed the playoffs after going 40-38-4. Florida won the Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons before this past season, and the Panthers’ front office is clearly looking to run the table in the postseason again.
Getting Brady to not just team up with Matthew, but the rest of the talented roster in Sunrise, is a hot start to the offseason.
