Several trades finalized as Florida Panthers hoist the Stanley Cup

The 2023-24 NHL season culminated in a thrilling victory for the Florida Panthers, who clinched the Stanley Cup with a roster bolstered by strategic trade deadline acquisitions. Notable among these were Vladimir Tarasenko and Kyle Okposo, whose contributions significantly strengthened the Panthers' bottom six.

Trades finalized now that Florida Panthers have won the Stanley Cup

The success of these trades had conditions tied to the Panthers' performance, particularly their championship win, leading to upgraded draft picks. Let's break down the updates:

The 2024 seventh-round pick that the Panthers sent to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Kyle Okposo will now be upgraded to a 2024 fifth-round pick.

Similarly, the 2024 fourth-round pick traded to the Ottawa Senators for Vladimir Tarasenko will upgrade to a 2026 third-round pick.

In contrast, the Edmonton Oilers' conditional pick involved in the Adam Henrique trade remains unchanged. The 2025 fifth-round pick sent to the Anaheim Ducks will not be upgraded to a fourth-round pick.

Adding to the financial implications, Kyle Okposo will receive a $500,000 performance bonus for winning the Stanley Cup, paid by the Buffalo Sabres. This bonus results in a $500,000 overage to Florida's 2024-25 salary cap.

As the offseason officially begins, the hockey world is buzzing with anticipation for more trades and moves that could shape the next season. Stay tuned for updates as teams strategize and rebuild for another thrilling year of hockey.
