The Florida Panthers are celebrating as back-to-back Stanley Cup champions, having successfully re-signed key players such as Aaron Ekblad, Sam Bennett, and Brad Marchand. While enjoying their summer, the team faces a salary cap challenge, carrying a $99.225 million cap hit, which exceeds the league's $95.5 million limit. To comply by the regular season start on October 7, the Panthers may consider placing Matthew Tkachuk on long-term injured reserve to alleviate his cap hit, among other potential solutions to manage their roster effectively.
The Florida Panthers are currently over the $95.5 million salary cap with a total hit of $99.225 million ahead of the 2025-26 season, needing compliance by October.
Matthew Tkachuk may start the season on long-term injured reserve, which would free up his $9.5 million cap hit to help the Panthers become compliant.
