However Marchand represents that DNA change that Brad Treliving is talking of. He’s a much bigger than life character. I additionally am curious if he’s acquired it in him to form of burn the Bruins somewhat bit, if he’s somewhat bit sad with the truth that the Bruins wouldn’t pay him, and that’s why he performed the way in which he did with Florida.
