Monday features a pivotal Group I World Cup matchup between Norway and Senegal

OTTAWA, ON - APRIL 25: Brady Tkachuk #7 of the Ottawa Senators takes a break during a stoppage in play against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game Four of the First Round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs on April 25, 2026, at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, ON, Canada. (Photo by Richard A. Whittaker/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) | Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe Florida Panthers are a much scarier team than they were a week ago. The NHL was stunned on Sunday by the news that the Ottawa Senators were trading Brady Tkachuk to the Panthers in exchange for three first-round picks (two in 2026 and one in 2027), as well as a second-round pick in the upcoming draft. Its a mammoth deal that unites the Tkachuk brothers on one team, gives Florida the scariest three-line offensive depth chart in the NHL, and seemingly puts them on a collision course with another Stanley Cup run. The near-universal reaction to the trade was some variation of theyre going to be unbeatable for years.Just one problem: the Stanley Cup isnt won on paper. In making the deal, we have a Panthers team that is accentuating its strengths, but also opening up its weaknesses even further. They are now a team that is wholly reliant on a handful of superstars to get the job done, killing what little depth they had in the process. As easy as it is to opine that Florida is now unbeatable, they have some significant issues holding them back.No. 1: What is this team doing in goal?There is a mammoth question mark in net for Florida as they prepare for the 2026-27 season. Veteran legend Sergei Bobrovsky is coming off a down season, but still remains the best clutch playoff goaltender in the NHL by a significant margin. The goaltending problem is compounded by the fact that backup Daniil Tarasov is also an unrestricted free agent. If the Panthers try to re-sign him it would be with the understanding that he would become the starter, which means hes going to want starter money and thats an iffy prospect because Tarasov hasnt neccesarily shown the ability to be the guy in net.That brings us back to Bobrovsky, and any hopes that Florida would get him to take a hometown discount are out the window. Bob is reportedly looking for a multi-year, $42M deal at age 37, wanting something in the $6-7M AAV range is simply impossible for the Panthers, as is any dream of making another trade to somehow land Connor Hellebuyck from the Jets. Thats because No. 2: The Panthers have put themselves in a dangerous cap positionFlorida was in good shape prior to the Brady Tkachuk trade to be able to make some smart deals and bolster their roster at several positions. Instead, this deal essentially made the Panthers stronger at their best position, without allocating resources to their other needs.As it stands, the Panthers have $7.5M in open cap space and significant holes they need to patch. The goaltending is a mammoth problem, but so is their back-line depth. This Brady Tkachuk deal could have priced them out of both making a deal for Hellebuyck, as well as reliably retaining A.J. Greer who will have suitors in the open market. This is compounded by the fact that they have now opened up multiple high-value prospects to being poached through RFA, with teams knowing the Panthers are in a vulnerable cap spot.Ben Steeves showed enormous AHL promise this season while playing for the Charlotte Checkers. Steeves made his first All-Star Game and registered 45 points in 72 games. The 24-year-old forward figured to be part of the Panthers long-term plans, but now he could easily be signed for a mid-level contract that would put him out of range that Florida could match, but not give them great compensation either. The same could happen with Mikulus Hovorka. If the Panthers want to actually solve their net problem by trading for Hellebuyck, it will require clearing salary. Reports are that the team nixed any discussion of Anton Lundell to the Senators in the Tkachuk deal, which could mean they intend to hold him for a separate trade but that doesnt sound great either from a roster perspective. Lets assume they find a way to get Hellebuyck for Lundell (and something). They will have essentially traded one of the best young forechecking centers in the NHL for Brady Tkachuk, changing their forward dynamic while getting only slightly better in goal. That seems like a really iffy tactic.No. 3: if theyre healthyThe huge caveat to the Panthers chances is if theyre healthy. Its a refrain you tend to hear a lot when it comes to the Florida Panthers. They would have won this year if they were healthy, they will win for the next four years if they can stay healthy.Florida cant stay healthy. This isnt a genie that can be stuffed back in the lamp. Numerous skaters at numerous positions have established injury concerns, and the physical way the Panthers play isnt going to make that easier. Sam Bennett hasnt played a full regular season in a decade. Matthew Tkachuk is still coming back from surgery. Brad Marchand was hurt in 2025-26, and hes also 37-years-old. None of these are really issues in isolation, but there are going to be injuries when you go so profoundly all-in on stars while requiring them to play physical, Florida Panthers hockey. Imagining a world where the Panthers are always healthy just isnt a reality at this point. Will their injuries be as bad as last season? Probably not, but something will pop up and the depth has never been more thin than it is right now.The Brady Tkachuk trade is a make-or-break for next seasonFlorida pushed all its chips to the middle, and theyre going for it. On paper, the roster looks absolutely terrifying, with the Panthers leveraging their winning pedigree and their states tax-free status to assemble a unit that nobody else could. The issue is that they have left themselves open on various fronts to see it all go up in smoke.Brady Tkachuk is a good player, but hes not his brother. The Panthers made a superstar-level trade for a player who isnt a superstar. The hope is that Brady will have a Mitch Marner-esque breakout now that he has fresh scenery, but that is wishful thinking. The likelihood is that he will be a very good player for Florida and add to the teams overall ethos but its difficult to fall head-over-heels in love with the trade, considering what they have lost and will lose because of getting Brady Tkachuk.Like any all-in deal: If they win the cup next year its worth it, anything less will have made this trade a failure.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be traded before the start of the NBA draft Tuesday, with the Celtics and Heat emerging as finalists to land the Bucks superstar, sources told ESPN.

Long before he smashed the locker, won a single trophy or had any inkling he'd play in a U.S. Open one day, golf for Wyndham Clark was a test of patience, will and temperament.So, perhaps it's only right that for Clark to sew up his latest, sweetest triumph, he had to rescue himself from a potentially history making collapse and do it in front of a New York crowd that, for the most part, came out to Long Island to watch him fail. Clark's second U.S. Open victory will be remembered as the one where he handled Shinnecock Hills and somehow salvaged a final-round Sunday that saw a six-shot lead at the start dwindle to a single, precious stroke by the end. It will also be remembered for the cheers when he missed shots, and for a winning, tap-in putt on the 18th green that was greeted with an awkward dribble of applause a strange reaction, especially given the hills Clark has had to climb to become a champion,.We've dealt with his anger issues since he was that high," said Clark's father, Randall, explaining the journey as he held his hand about hip high. "It's because golf is not a game of perfection. And he wants to be perfect."Clark, 32, was open about his struggles at his last U.S. Open victory in 2023, explaining his mother's death 10 years earlier had left a scar and that the rage came out most viscerally in the aftermath of missed golf shots. His felt like a simple tale about overcoming obstacles and personal growth. But that journey is never truly finished. His demons came back into full view a year ago when he smashed a locker at Oakmont after missing the cut at the U.S. Open. He has since apologized and the suits at Oakmont, appalled at first, have moved on, as well. The fans in New York clearly haven't. It made for an awkward stroll across the course Sunday, where Clark was paired with top-ranked Scottie Scheffler.Scheffler, trying to complete the career Grand Slam, likely would've been a fan favorite against anyone. No problem there, he said, but even he found himself cringing at the cheers ringing out when Clark missed shots, which happened a lot on a front nine in which he shot 38 and saw his lead shrink to one. You like seeing the fans cheer for you, Scheffler said. I think sometimes it can get a little too much when, you know, balls are kind of going off greens and you start hearing cheers. That felt a bit much to me.Clark's winning moment came on No. 16. Nursing the one-shot lead, he teed off into the deep fescue a horrendous lie, according to caddie-turned-TV analyst Jim Bones Mackay. Clark made it look better than that, lashing into the fairway, then hitting an 8-iron that straightened out along the back of the green. He nailed the 30-foot birdie putt his longest make of the day to give himself a two-shot lead over Sam Burns with two holes to play. About a half-hour later, Clark two-putted from 50 feet on 18 to become a two-time winner instead of the player to blow the biggest 54-hole lead in U.S. Open history. The two-putt was reminiscent of the way he wrapped up his win three years ago at Los Angeles Country Club.So much has changed since then.Its been part of every question in every interview for the last 12 months," his dad said of the constant rehashing of the locker incident, all of which Clark has handled with patience. "I do think it's gone on too long. In response to Oakmont, Clark has paid for the repairs to the locker. He has given money to charity and participated in anger-management courses. He did not feel much love on Long Island.A little disappointing, said Randall Clark, who took a red-eye flight from Denver to be there for the win. At the same time, he's a warrior. He 'bowed up and said Im going to figure this out and still get through.' It's too bad. We've seen this before in the New York area with the Ryder Cup."But this was no Ryder Cup, the likes of which was marred by unruly behavior from the New York fans last year at Bethpage. Clark conceded he heard it all and concluded, man, they definitely don't want me to win.Its pretty rare in an open championship, or a major, to have fans kind of boo against your shots or cheer for bad shots, he said. All he could do, though, was turn to his caddie and laugh, especially when they heard from one of those rare fans who were actually pulling for him.Now, the question is will this show of grit in the face of adversity give Clark a fresh start? Or will it always be about the locker and some meltdown lurking around every corner? I sure hope it closes the door on it, he said. "I figured in my mind that this would maybe be the last time just because its one year removed. Ill probably always get (those questions). But I hope I dont become the heel of the PGA.I guess if I am, any press is good press, right?___AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
