The 1st round pick will be in 2025 or 2026 as the Panthers previously traded their 2024 pick to the Philadelphia Flyers in the Claude Giroux deal.
Huberdeau actually outscored Tkachuk last year by 11 points, but is 4 years older than Tkachuk.
It will be interesting to start seeing some of the reactions of Panthers players as Huberdeau was a huge part of the organization.
