The Florida Panthers have acquired forward Garnet Hathaway and a sixth round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Philadelphia Flyers. In return, the Panthers sent their fifth round pick in the 2026 draft and a fourth round pick in 2027.
Hathaway is a physical forward who has played for several NHL teams, including the Flyers in recent seasons. He is known for his work on the penalty kill and contributions in a bottom six role.
The move adds depth to the Panthers forward group ahead of the next season. The Flyers receive future draft selections in exchange for the veteran player.
The trade was completed on June 25. Both teams continue to adjust their rosters through the offseason.
