The Bruins might've changed the landscape of the league if they hadn't traded Brad Marchand at the deadline.
It was a bold move that ended up paying dividends for the Boston Bruins when Don Sweeney decided to trade Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers at the deadline. It was first met with criticism for the lousiness of the return (a second-round pick), but Sweeney took a chance that the Panthers were going to have another good run and inserted the condition that ultimately improved it to a first-overall selection in 2027.
