Bruins Free Agency Preview: Resetting After Re-Signings; Dream of a Marchand Reunion Is Dead
SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUN 29 – Brad Marchand enters unrestricted free agency after winning the Stanley Cup with Florida, with the Bruins and Maple Leafs among his top potential suitors, per multiple reports.
- On July 1, Marchand enters NHL free agency for the first time, with the Bruins and Maple Leafs expressing interest in signing him.
- Following his March trade, Marchand's contract talks with Boston broke down, leading to his first free agency after signing an eight-year, $49 million deal in 2016.
- Marchand helped the Panthers win their second Stanley Cup, scoring 10 goals and 20 points in 23 playoff games, and finished second in Conn Smythe voting.
- Boston's $23 million cap space and the Panthers' tight constraints make a Marchand return unlikely, Conroy calls a reunion 'slim.'
- More broadly, NHL teams like the Maple Leafs and Utah Mammoth are expected to pursue Marchand, who could command around $8 million annually, shaping the league's free agency landscape.
