On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss the news of Matthew Tkachuk undergoing the surgery for his torn adductor and sports hernia that he suffered in the Four Nations Face-off back in February, and how despite the report of him contemplating the surgery, how it's not a surprise that he ended up giving himself the green light to go through with it. How long is he expected to be out of the lineup? Will this effect his chances at playing in the 2026 Winter Olympics? Shortly before the report, the Panthers signed F Luke Kunin to a year deal worth $775K, and it's a reunion is more ways than one, as Kunin grew up with Tkachuk in the St. Louis area, and was represented at one point in his career by GM and President of Hockey Ops, Bill Zito. Champions should never be complacent, and the signing of Kunin sets alarms to the Panthers fourth line as all three guys in AJ Greer, Tomas Nosek and Jonah Gadjovich are in contract years, and with Kunin in the mix, it creates some intriguing battles when training camp rolls around. Lastly, we recap the biggest storylines coming out of the AMERIGOL LATAM Cup that just wrapped up at the Panthers Ice Den in Coral Springs. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: your Team, Every Day.
