Story summary

The NHL off-season saw several veteran players switch teams ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. Sergei Bobrovsky, a 38-year-old goaltender, signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs after leading the Florida Panthers to back-to-back Stanley Cup victories in 2024 and 2025. Despite facing challenges during his recent season, Bobrovsky boasts a career .912 save percentage and a 2.61 goals-against average, aiming to help the Leafs return to the playoffs after missing out for the first time in a decade last spring.

Meanwhile, Brady Tkachuk, a 27-year-old bruising winger, was traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Florida Panthers, joining his older brother Matthew in Florida. This marks Brady's departure after eight seasons with the Senators, including five as captain. Additionally, veteran forward Brendan Gallagher moved from the Montreal Canadiens to the Vancouver Canucks, despite having a less productive season with only seven goals and 16 assists for 23 points last year. At 34 years old, Gallagher’s experience will be valuable in supporting the Canucks during their franchise rebuild.
