Panthers acquire Garnet Hathaway in a trade with the Flyers

The Florida Panthers acquired 34-year-old winger Garnet Hathaway from the Philadelphia Flyers in a trade on June 25, 2026. Florida sent a fifth-round draft pick and a fourth-round pick in the following year's draft to Philadelphia in exchange. The move was made to preserve the team's physical, gritty style of play as forward A.J. Greer was expected to leave in free agency.
