When the Boston Bruins traded Brad Marchand at the trade deadline last March, it signaled the end of his time with the Black and Gold. He was going to be a free agent at season's end with the Florida Panthers.
Little did anyone know what was about to come. Marchand ended up being a huge part of the Panthers' run to a second straight Stanley Cup championship last spring. One thing was clear following the season: Marchand wasn't ready to hang up the skates anytime soon.
When the dust settled on free agency, Marchand re-signed with the Panthers to run it back and help the organization try and win a third straight Cup.
