The Florida Panthers and Ottawa Senators
0:02
connected on the first blockbuster NHL
0:05
trade of the off seasonason on Sunday
0:07
evening with the Senators sending
0:09
captain Brady Kachchuck to the Florida
0:11
Panthers to reunite with his brother
0:13
Matthew. The Senators getting multiple
0:15
first round picks in this year's draft
0:18
as well as a first round pick in 2029
0:20
and a pick in 2030 in the second round
0:23
in that deal. sent shock waves across
0:26
the league and it has some repercussions
0:27
potentially for the Philadelphia Flyers
0:29
as well. I am Ryan Gilbert for Broad
0:32
Street Hockey. Gonna be getting into all
0:34
of those things and more here. First of
0:36
all, make sure you subscribe, like, and
0:37
comment on the video and let's get into
0:40
it.
0:46
All right, so Brady Kachchuck to the
0:48
Florida Panthers. You know, this isn't a
0:50
trade that's just in the Western
0:52
Conference with the Stars sending Jason
0:54
Robertson to Vegas where there's really
0:56
no impact on the Flyers. You know,
0:58
there's no direct impact here. But the
1:00
Senators are a team that the Flyers have
1:02
shown interest in. And the Senators have
1:04
shown interest in a few of the different
1:06
Philadelphia Flyers players that have
1:08
been in trade rumors recently. Let's
1:10
first start with the Ottawa Senator
1:13
Centers. Have a great video on the Broad
1:15
Street Hockey YouTube channel. Going to
1:17
throw it up here on the video. You can
1:18
click on that. Go watch that for more on
1:21
the centers that might be available.
1:22
That was published before the Kachchuck
1:24
trade. So, not any updated info in
1:27
there, but those three centers, I mean,
1:29
they have Tim Stutla. They're not
1:30
trading Tim Stola. He's at $ 8.3 million
1:33
capitate through 2031. That's a steal.
1:36
But after him, they got Shane Pinto,
1:38
$7.5 million through 2030. Dylan
1:41
Cousins, 7.1 million, also through 2030.
1:44
Both of those guys are 25 years old.
1:46
Then you go a tear down a bit to Ridley
1:48
Greg. Uh 3.25 million for the next three
1:52
years. 23 years old, but also profiles
1:55
more as a a thirdline center, which is
1:57
what the Flyers mostly have. So we're
2:00
really looking at Cousins or Pinto as
2:02
potential trade pieces back with the
2:04
Senators. But Senators just now got two
2:06
more pieces the Flyers could very well
2:08
be interested in with that ninth overall
2:10
pick from the Florida Panthers as well
2:13
as the 25th pick which was the Lightning
2:15
pick that got to the Panthers and now is
2:18
in Ottawa. So the Senators now have
2:20
those two picks along with their 32nd
2:22
overall pick. And there's really a lot
2:24
of balls in the air with wrist line and
2:27
now a lot of balls in the air with the
2:28
Senators and the Flyers. There's a lot
2:31
of lot of talk out there like the
2:32
senator is going to tear it down now
2:33
that Kachchuck Kachchuck is gone, but
2:36
they don't want to tear it down. Steve
2:37
Seyos, they're their GM came out and
2:40
said uh the team now has has some
2:42
capital to improved the roster that they
2:44
have. And they have some good guys. You
2:47
look at their roster, you could argue
2:48
it's it's a playoff team still. Even
2:50
without Kachchuck, they got Tim
2:51
Stitchel. They have Cousins and Pinto
2:53
and Greg. They have Drake Bath, a decent
2:55
winger there up there on forward. They
2:57
got some cap space now as well. 28
2:59
million in cap space. And look at their
3:01
look at their defense. They got Thomas
3:02
Chabbat. Jake Sanderson is a great young
3:05
defenseman. Uh they got some other guys
3:07
they can add there. They are looking to
3:09
add a right-hand defenseman like Rrista
3:11
Lin and we know they have been
3:12
interested in Risto in the past. And
3:16
then in that they have Linus Hallmark at
3:18
8.25 million through 2029. So unless
3:22
they can move a few of these contracts
3:23
and, you know, upset the fans in Ottawa,
3:26
which doesn't seem like it's going to
3:27
happen, the Senators are probably going
3:29
to be using some of these picks to make
3:31
a trade to add to their roster like
3:33
Steve Staos said after making the trade
3:35
on Sunday. uh some reports that the
3:38
senators are interested in Jason
3:40
Robertson from Dallas, which would make
3:42
a lot of sense um for both parties, but
3:45
it just seems like there is an
3:47
opportunity right here for Danny Brriier
3:49
and the Flyers to connect with Ottawa on
3:52
some sort of deal. Uh for the Flyers,
3:55
the Flyers players, the Senators might
3:57
want I mentioned Rristtoan on on the
4:00
last year of his deal. seems like a guy
4:03
the Flyers could go into into the season
4:05
with, but if they if they trade him, if
4:07
they get a first round pick plus for
4:08
him, if they can use him to get a
4:10
center, they might be happy enough to
4:12
trade him and do that deal. And also, of
4:15
course, anytime really Flyers are
4:17
mentioned in trade rumors, you got to
4:18
bring up Owen Tippet nowadays. Uh,
4:21
Tippet really had a breakout year this
4:22
past year. Great in the playoffs as well
4:25
before suffering his injury that kept
4:27
him out of the second round. So you got
4:29
wrist linen, you you got Owen Tippet. So
4:32
those are two pieces that realistically
4:35
you could be like, okay, trade those two
4:37
for a Dylan Cousins. The Flyers get
4:39
their center. The Senators already have
4:42
Stutzilla. They have Pinto as well. Th
4:44
those two guys can play top six or you
4:46
get Pinto. They can keep Cousins because
4:49
Cousins was acquired from the Sabres in
4:51
a trade not too long ago. So, the
4:54
Senators may not be looking to trade
4:56
Cousins as easily as they would with
4:58
Pinto. And the reports out there on
5:00
Pinto are that the Flyers have been
5:02
interested in him for quite some time.
5:04
We have heard his name connected to the
5:06
Flyers for probably a few years now.
5:08
They're both 25 years old. Both pretty
5:11
much would fit right in with the Flyers
5:14
rebuild where they are at right now.
5:16
They just need a center and they have
5:18
too many wingers. Traded out Bobby Brink
5:20
for for David Uric. that cleared up some
5:22
space, but Tippet is is just looks like
5:25
the guy that teams come calling on. And
5:27
Breer is not going to sell him sell him
5:29
short. But 6.2 million through 2032, 27
5:34
years old. So if the Flyers don't win in
5:36
these next few years, don't take a few
5:37
steps forward. You could maybe see that
5:40
uh production from Tippet decline, but
5:42
it does look like a good contract. And
5:44
of course, Risan, one more year, 5.1
5:47
million, 31 years old. you move those
5:49
two guys, you get either Cousins or
5:51
Pinto in the deal, maybe you you make a
5:54
move for draft picks as well. If the
5:56
Senators, if the Flyers decide, okay, if
5:59
we can get this ninth overall pick,
6:01
which is something that I personally was
6:02
interested in before, I was like, all
6:04
right, how can the Flyers get nine from
6:06
the Panthers? Maybe give him Risto.
6:08
Maybe give him Risto and and and a
6:10
forward to try to get that ninth overall
6:12
pick because it does seem there's going
6:14
to be a pretty good player available at
6:16
nine given how this draft class is
6:18
falling right now. And you never know
6:20
which players at the top could end up
6:22
falling. But you have all you have these
6:24
pieces. You have Pinto. You have
6:26
Cousins. Ridley Gri I guess is out
6:28
there. The ninth overall pick, the 25th
6:30
pick. The Flyers have Tippet. The Flyers
6:33
have wristan. Flyers have their own 21st
6:36
pick and Breier has shown in these past
6:38
two drafts that he is more than happy to
6:41
make a draft day trade whether it's
6:43
trading back a spot like he did with the
6:46
Luchenko pick or last year when he
6:47
traded up to get Jack Nesbbit and get
6:50
their guy. So you you can you can be
6:53
sure that that Brriier is going to do
6:54
what he can to to what he can do to
6:57
improve the roster here in Philadelphia,
7:00
especially with a team like the
7:01
Senators. Now, I don't know if I would
7:04
quite call them desperate, but they're
7:06
in a spot where they have to do
7:08
something and add at least one Impact
7:10
roster player. They can't just go into
7:13
draft night, use their three picks, and
7:16
be like, "All right, we're setting the
7:17
table up for the future." That that's
7:18
just not going to fly in Ottawa up there
7:20
in a in a Canadian market. It's just not
7:22
not going to happen. So, Brier should
7:24
already be on the phone. I'm sure he's
7:26
already been working with the Senators
7:28
from what we've heard about their
7:30
interest in Risto and the Flyers
7:31
potentially winning their centers. There
7:33
has to have been some previous
7:34
conversation there, but this Kachchuck
7:37
trade really might just kind of blow the
7:39
lid on this whole NHL off season. It I'm
7:42
recording this on June 21st. Tuesday is
7:45
June 23rd, of course, which we know is
7:47
the Flyers big day for making uh big
7:50
trades. Got Zegris last year on the
7:53
23rd. So maybe we could see a Flyer
7:55
Senators trade come through fruition
7:57
here this week on Tuesday ahead of the
7:59
draft there on Friday night. Um, so
8:03
yeah, the Senators and Flyers,
8:06
it's it it's just the the the it's too
8:08
good of a match for for them not to get
8:11
together here on a deal with the
8:13
Senators having the center depth, that
8:15
being the Flyers, exactly what they
8:17
need. And the Senators need to make a
8:20
big splash or any sort of splash after
8:22
trading Kachchuck. And if they get back
8:24
a guy like Tippet, a good speedy winger
8:27
like Tippet who can play with Stum Tim
8:29
Stutla for the next few years and get
8:31
back a big body defenseman like Rrista
8:34
Linan to play with Sanderson or Chabat
8:36
in the top four. If that costs them a
8:39
center or if that can cost them their
8:40
ninth overall pick, they might pull the
8:42
trigger there. So, we'll see what
8:44
happens here in the next coming days.
