Despite Brad Marchand’s repeated claims of wanting to finish his career in a black-and-gold sweater, the Bruins traded their captain on Friday afternoon to one of their top rivals in the Florida Panthers — per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
No return has been reported yet.
It marks the first time that the Bruins have traded their captain since dealing Joe Thornton to the San Jose Sharks in November 2005. The 36-year-old Marchand has played in 61 games this season with Boston — scoring 21 goals and 47 points.
