A new condition is revealed in the trade involving Huberdeau and Tkachuk, a pick is added
As you know, late last night we were treated to one of the biggest transactions in the National Hockey League in the last ten years.
The Florida Panthers acquired forward Matthew Tkachuk, and in exchange, the Calgary Flames received Jonathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt and a 1st round pick in 2025.
A huge transaction!
Also, please note that Tkachuk signed an 8 year, $9.5 million contract with the Panthers seconds after the trade.
Today, the excellent resource CapFriendly just published an interesting detail:
If the 2025 first round pick, which was traded by the Panthers to the Flames, if it is a lottery pick and is in the pool for the 2025 lottery, that pick becomes a 2026 first round pick.
Also, the fourth-round pick in 2025 that was traded by the Flames to the Panthers would become a 2026 fourth-round pick." - CapFriendly
So here's the full and official trade:
Florida:
Matthew Tkachuk +
Conditional 4th round pick 2025 (which may become a 4th round pick 2026)
Calgary:
Jonathan Huberdeau +
MacKenzie Weegar +
Cole Schwindt +
Conditional 1st round pick 2025 (may become a 1st round pick 2026)
And that's it! So there's a pick added here, compared to the trade that's been floating around since last night. It's not major, but please note that the Panthers finally get a fourth round pick (in addition to Tkachuk)
