COVER ATHLETE: Matthew Tkachuk is the face of NHL 26!

On today's edition of the Locked on FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) brought in Jacob Winans(@JakeW_8) to discuss the news of Matthew Tkachuk becoming the cover athlete for NHL 26. The two discuss how big it is for Tkachuk's marketability and how it's once again something Panther fans could attach themselves to. Is the curse real? The two look at the history of the NHL 26 curse and because Tkachuk is already going to be out for an extended period of time, could this be a reverse curse? Lastly, the guys discuss what ZIto's Plan B and beyond could be for how they manage the roster with Tkachuk missing time and what lesson's he could learn from another general manager who went through a similar situation last offseason.
