| 6/22/26 | ![]() WhyHockey 6.22.26: Emergency Brady Tkachuk Trade Edition | Yes, the Florida Panthers just traded for Brady Tkachuk, shortly after I wrote about the Mackie Samoskevich trade and not a week after doing a draft preview podcast expecting the Panthers to make it. Such is life. There is a lot for Tommy and I to sink our teeth into with the trade including:4:15: So, the Panthers traded for Brady Tkachuk, eh? Starting with the pick compensation: is it an overpay?13:15: Where does Brady actually fit into the Panthers forward group? Do the Panthers potentially have a team speed problem?27:30: Why this package for Brady Tkachuk and not Larkin or Hellebuyck?40:30: Why do these captains in “hockey markets” want to leave their teams right now? Bigger trend or moment in time? 54:00: More dynamics on why this was the best time for Brady Tkachuk to leave and how he’ll fit in the dressing room in Florida?1:01:30: Other assorted thoughtsEnjoy the show!Thanks for reading Whyhockey Periodical!

Scott Hunter, I wish what you did in this episode could happen in reality!48:10: Episode 6, great way to end the season (Shane’s car is a piece of junk).55:00: How have men in hockey, like Luke Prokop, actually come out publicly? It’s not like what Scott Hunter did, but equally as amazing! (Listen to the Outfield Podcast too!)1:11:00: How the Empty Netters Heated Rivalry recaps taught me an important lesson on how the NHL and its teams can bring the show’s audience into hockey for good, and how the show’s fanbase can make the sport of hockey better.1:16:45: Support Brock McGillis, who does the really hard work of changing the culture of hockey on a daily basis, and how out current and former athletes have reacted to the show.1:27:30: Remaining good points and bad points that I hadn’t mentioned yet.1:32:15: Can we please not speculate on Hudson and Connor’s sexuality?
