The Florida Panthers have announced that they have traded forward Justin Sourdif to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick.

Sourdif, 23, appeared in one game this season with the Panthers, where he scored his first career NHL goal. He also posted 16 goals, 18 assists, 34 points, and 58 penalty minutes in 43 regular-season games with the Charlotte Checkers.

Sourdif suited up in 18 playoff games for the Checkers this year as well, where he recorded four goals, 10 points, and 32 penalty minutes.

Sourdif was selected by the Panthers with the 87th overall pick of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. In four games with the Panthers over two seasons, he posted one goal, five hits, and a plus-1 rating.

Overall, this is a good move for the Panthers. They have gotten themselves a second-round pick and a sixth-round pick for a prospect who has had trouble finding a fit on their NHL roster because of how deep their group is.
