A nameplate over a locker — bearing the name Brad Marchand. “Kind of weird, for now,” Barkov said. A guy who always played like he hated Florida will soon be in uniform for Florida, after a stunning trade at the NHL’s deadline Friday brought Marchand — who was captain of the Boston Bruins — to the defending Stanley Cup champion Panthers.

The Florida Panthers and Colorado Avalanche have loaded up for Stanley Cup runs. The Boston Bruins have thrown in the towel.

The Florida Panthers are hoping the addition of Brad Marchand will take them one step closer to a second straight Stanley Cup. The Panthers acquired Marchand from the Boston Bruins at the Friday trade deadline.

The Florida Panthers did it again. Making a splash with their fifth and final move prior to the NHL’s trade deadline on Friday, the defending Stanley Cup champions acquired Brad Marchand from the Boston Bruins.

Over 16 seasons, Brad Marchand went from a fourth-line pest to a franchise legend with a Bruins fanbase that places a premium on heart.

Marchand joins list of greats — such as Bobby Orr, Tom Brady and Carlton Fisk — to wear another team's uniform. It won't be easy to watch.

Katrina Marchand shared an emotional farewell message on Instagram following her husband and former Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand’s shocking trade from the Boston Bruins to the Florida Panthers. Marchand, who had spent all 16 of his NHL seasons with the Bruins, was moved at the deadline after he and the team failed to agree on a new contract.

The trade deadline has passed, and the Boston Bruins were quite busy this year. But this season, unlike the past seasons in Don Sweeney’s tenure, they were sellers, not buyers.

Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs seemed to put aside any notion that president Cam Neely's and general manager Don Sweeney's jobs are in jeopardy.
