Hathaway and a 2026 sixth-round pick were traded to the Panthers on Thursday from the Flyers in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick.
Hathaway is under contract for one more season at a modest $2.4 million AAV, so this isn't exactly a salary dump for the Flyers, though it could clear a lineup spot for one of their younger players. In Florida, Hathaway figures to slot into a fourth-line role, which could mean the club allows some combination of Vinnie Hinostroza, Tomas Nosek or A.J. Greer to hit the open market July 1.

Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Two-point effort Monday
Rotowire
Hathaway scored a shorthanded goal and added an even-strength assist Monday during the Flyers' 3-0 win over the Penguins in Game 2 of their first-round series.
The veteran winger provided some insurance for his squad, giving Philly a 2-0 lead late in the second period before having a hand in Luke Glendening's empty-net tally late in the third. Hathaway had gone 12 straight games without getting onto the scoresheet, and the bottom-six grinder isn't likely to add much more offense to the Flyers' postseason run. After dishing out 253 hits in 66 regular-season contests, however, Hathaway's already recorded 13 in two playoff contests.

Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Chips in with helper
Rotowire
Hathaway logged an assist and six hits in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
Hathaway was in the lineup for just the second time in the last five games. His playing time has been a little inconsistent at times, and the Flyers' addition of Luke Glendening off waivers from the Devils has muddied Hathaway's path into the lineup regularly. For the season, Hathaway has one goal, two assists, 25 shots on net, 205 hits, 59 PIM, 42 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 55 appearances.

Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Hathaway didn't participate in Thursday's practice session due to an illness, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Hathaway has appeared in 47 games for the Flyers this year, recording a goal, an assist, 183 hits, 52 PIM and 35 blocked shots while averaging 10:17 of ice time. He'll have nearly a week to recover before Philadelphia faces Washington on Wednesday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him available for that matchup.

Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Finally gets first goal of season
Rotowire
Hathaway scored a goal Saturday in a 7-2 loss to Tampa Bay.
Hathaway got a monkey off his back Saturday with his first goal and point of the 2025-26 season. It took 37 outings. He spent several games in the press box in December, and it clearly gave him some perspective. Hathaway has 19 PIM, 20 hits, six blocks and is plus-three in four games since he got back in the lineup. Those bruise categories may help if you can afford to deploy such a one-dimensional player.

Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Healthy scratch Saturday
Rotowire
Hathaway was a healthy scratch Saturday against the Rangers.
It was the first time he was scratched this season. Hathaway has been snakebitten this season -- he has no points and just 15 shots on goal in 33 games. He has accounted for 25 PIM and 117 hits, but his lack of offensive contributions holds back his fantasy value.

Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Coming up empty in 2025-26
Rotowire
Hathaway was held off the scoresheet for an 18th straight game to begin the season in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Stars.
Hathaway has yet to earn a point while adding eight shots on net, 69 hits, 12 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-7 rating. He moved around the lineup often during John Tortorella's tenure as head coach, but Rick Tocchet has kept Hathaway firmly on the fourth line this year. That has contributed to minimal offense, but the 33-year-old winger is rarely a fantasy option in most formats anyway. However, he should continue to be a physical force even if his offense stays cold.
Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Tallies pair of points Sunday
Rotowire
Hathaway scored a goal, tallied an assist, blocked three shots and dished out four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators.
Hathaway registered a secondary assist on Philadelphia's first goal of the game before scoring the team's third goal midway through the third period. Overall, the 33-year-old bruiser is up to 10 goals, 11 assists, 80 shots on net and 242 hits in 65 games this season. While not known for his offense, Hathaway has chipped in lately with two goals and three points in his last three games. He provides elite hit coverage and that makes him a noteworthy option in banger leagues from a fantasy standpoint.

Flyers' Garnet Hathaway: Makes impact Wednesday
Rotowire
Hathaway scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, added 10 PIM and doled out eight hits in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Rangers.
This was Hathaway's first point since Feb. 8 versus the Penguins, though he missed nearly all of March due to an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old has resumed a fourth-line role over the last three games, adding 16 hits and three shots on net. The veteran winger has nine goals, 10 assists, 79 shots, 58 PIM and 234 hits over 63 appearances in 2024-25. He has four games left to attempt to reach the 20-point mark for the third time in his career.
