ANNIVERSARY: Three Years to the day of the big trade, and nobody has it better than Matthew Tkachuk

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here is discuss three years to date of Bill Zito making the biggest trade in Florida Panthers History trading for Matthew Tkachuk in exchange for Jonathan Huberdeau, MacKenzie Weegar, Cole Schwindt, and a 2025 first round pick, and the Panthers have not looked back, with three straight Stanley Cup Final appearance's, and two championships to show for it. Prior to the anniversary, Tkachuk got his day with the Cup, and tied the knot with the love of his life, a perfect weekend for the Tkachuk Family. With Tkachuk getting married and likely traveling for his honeymoon, that'll be a bit of a hold up for him getting surgery this offseason, which with the how the Panthers approached the final month of the season and an 84-game season coming in 2026-27, more players are going to be taking the time to rest their players for the playoffs, copying the Panthers way. Some teams might not have any seeding to fight for because they may be locked in to their seed, so will load management end up forcing the NHL to go back to a 1-8 playoff format?
