Season 3 of Morning Cuppa Hockey is bringing you a full breakdown of the biggest trade of the NHL offseason — Brady Tkachuk is headed to the Florida Panthers, and Jonny Lazarus and Colby Cohen are here to unpack every angle of a deal that just reshuffled the entire Eastern Conference.Brady Tkachuk is joining his brother Matthew in South Florida after the Ottawa Senators shipped their captain to the Panthers in exchange for three first-round picks and a second — including the 9th and 25th overall selections in the 2026 NHL Draft. It's a blockbuster that raises enormous questions on both sides: What does it mean for Ottawa's rebuild? And just how dangerous is this Panthers roster now?With two years remaining on his deal at a cap hit of $8.2 million, Brady gives Florida a two-way weapon who was a menace defensively even through an injury-shortened season — and the prospect of him lining up alongside Matthew and Sam Bennett is something opposing defences will have nightmares about. Florida missed the playoffs this season after a rash of injuries — most notably Aleksander Barkov missing the entire year — but with this move they're already being talked about as front-runners out of the East once again. Jonny and Colby dig into what the Sens get back, whether Steve Staios pulled the trigger at the right time, and what the Tkachuk reunion means for a Panthers team that's won two of the last three Stanley Cups. Then to close things out, The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta stops by with the latest from around the league as the NHL rumour mill kicks into overdrive heading into draft week.Don't miss a second of the daily hockey talk!🎙️ Subscribe to the Morning Cuppa Hockey podcast — Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen.Powered by @bet365: http://www.bet365.ca/👍🏼 Proraso USA: http://www.Proraso-USA.com👍🏼 Outwest: https://outwest.us/#NHL #MapleLeafs #Panthers #HockeyTalk #DailyFaceoff #StanleyCup
