Florida Panthers acquire Tampa Bay’s 2026 first-round pick and Seattle’s 2027 second-round pick from the Kraken in exchange for forward Mackie Samoskevich; the 2027 pick is conditional to be the higher of Winnipeg or Columbus’ second-round selections, and Samoskevich posted 63 points in 156 games for Florida.
The Philadelphia 76ers traded Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Houston’s 2026 first-round pick (which the Thunder control) and three second-rounders (2027, 2028, and Milwaukee’s 2028). McCain, a former top-20 pick, has battled injuries and reduced playing time, while OKC adds a cost-controlled guard and more draft capital. The move helps Philly address luxury-tax considerations and create trade flexibility; there are also rumors of additional moves involving Ousmane Dieng and Mason Plumlee.
