Panthers Acquire Gritty Winger Garnet Hathaway in a Trade with the Flyers
The Flyers kept 50% of Hathaway’s salary, lowering his cap hit to $1.2 million as Florida adds grit for a playoff push.
- On Thursday, the Florida Panthers acquired winger Garnet Hathaway from the Philadelphia Flyers in a trade designed to bolster the team's physical presence on the ice.
- This acquisition addresses the anticipated departure of forward A.J. Greer, who intends to test free agency on July 1; Philadelphia retained 50% of Hathaway's salary, reducing his cap hit to $1.2 million.
- Florida sent a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick to Philadelphia for Hathaway and a 2026 sixth-round pick, acquiring the 34-year-old winger with 51 career fights.
- These moves follow a difficult season where Florida missed the playoffs after reaching the Stanley Cup finals in three consecutive years, with captain Aleksander Barkov and star Matthew Tkachuk missing significant time.
- Florida general manager Bill Zito continues an aggressive offseason, recently trading for Brady Tkachuk to reunite him with his brother Matthew as the organization aims to return to championship contention.
