The Boston Bruins traded longtime franchise fixture Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers at Friday's trade deadline, according to multiple reports.
The deal was a stunner as there wasn't any speculation that the four-time All-Star and team captain would be dealt. What the Bruins received wasn't immediately known.
Marchand was in his 16th season with the Bruins and had stated he wanted to finish his career in Boston. But contract extension talks didn't go well and Marchand is set to be an unrestricted free agent following the season.
The 36-year-old winger is currently out with an upper-body injury. He last played March 1 is considered week-to-week.
Marchand ranks fourth in Bruins' history in games played (1,090) and goals (422), fifth in points (976) and sixth in assists (554).
Marchand was a key figure when Boston won the Stanley Cup in 2011. He had 11 goals and eight assists in 25 postseason games. Overall, he had 56 goals and 138 points in 157 playoff games.
Marchand had 21 goals and 47 points in 61 games this season. It is his 12th straight 20-goal season and 14th overall. His career high for goals is 39 in 2016-17.
His career best of 100 points was achieved during the 2018-19 season.
The Panthers (81 points) have the second-most points in the Eastern Conference and are gearing up to defend their Stanley Cup title from last season.
