The Florida Panthers have acquired Brad Marchand from the Boston Bruins.
Marchand, the captain of the Bruins since 2022-23, has 21 targets and 47 factors in 61 video games with the Bruins this season. The 5-foot-9 winger is within the remaining season of an eight-year contract that has a cap hit of $6.125 million, with Boston retaining 50%, dropping his cap hit to $3.0625 million. He’s scheduled to grow to be an unrestricted free agent on the finish of the season. Florida provides one of many NHL’s most infamous agitators to a lineup that already has Matthew Tkachuk.

The return for Boston is a conditional second-round choose in 2027. The situation is that it may flip right into a first-round choose in 2028 if Florida makes it to the Japanese Convention Ultimate and if Marchand performs in no less than half of Florida’s first and second-round playoff video games.
