Check out the Panthers' new lineup following the trade involving Huberdeau and Tkachuk
In the last few hours, we have witnessed one of the biggest transactions in the National Hockey League in recent years.
Review the complete 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)
Following this, you can guess that the lineups of the two teams involved are shaken up quite a bit.
Here are the new (projected) trios and duos for the Florida Panthers:
FORWARDS
Carter Verhaeghe - Aleksander Barkov - Sam Reinhart
Matthew Tkachuk - Sam Bennett - Colin White
Nick Cousins - Anton Lundell - Rudolfs Balcers
Ryan Lomberg - Eetu Luostarinen - Patrick Hornqvist
DEFENSE
Gustav Forsling - Aaron Ekblad
Marc Staal - Radko Gudas
Lucas Carlsson - Brandon Montour
We can clearly see that this is not the dominant lineup for the 2021-22 season. Especially on defense, it could be very difficult for them and of course, let's remember that the Montreal Canadiens have their unprotected first round pick.
