Done: Brady Tkachuk is traded to Florida

American NHL star Brady Tkachuk has been traded from Ottawa to Florida, the club confirms. Tkachuk is a dynamic player and one of the league's most physical and relentless forwards. "He is a proven leader and exactly the player we want in our locker room," said general manager Bill Zito.

The trade means he gets to play on the same team as his older brother, Matthew Tkachuk.

Tkachuk Jr. has played for Ottawa for his entire eight-year NHL career. This season, he scored 59 points, including 22 goals and 37 assists.

"This was not an easy decision, but ultimately we did what we believe is best for our club," said Ottawa general manager Steve Staios.
