The Boston Bruins have shocked the hockey world, according to the reports, exchanged the legend of the Brad Marchand franchise to the Florida Panthers before the NHL trade deadline on Friday.
Marchand caused commercial rumors to move around taking into account that he is a pending free agent, but it was always expected that, after 16 years, he and the Bruins reach an agreement on their short -term future.
But the Bruins decided to transfer it to one of their bitter rivals in recent seasons. Emily Kaplan of ESPN reported that the agreement will be made awaiting a commercial call.

Marchand, a third round of the Bruins in 2010, helped the organization win the Stanley Cup in its second season.

Marchand has an injury at the top of the body after leaving during the first period of the confrontation of the Bruins with the Pittsburgh penguins on March 1. He was hit uncomfortably by the defense Pierre-Olivier Joseph and never returned to the bank.
Where Marchand is located in the Panthers lines it will be interesting to see how stacked they are. But the Playoffs Pedigrí de Marchand and the ability to pass and shoot precisely at 36 makes it a great addition to the possibilities of repeating Florida as champions of the Stanley Cup.
This season, Marchand has 21 goals and 26 assists for 47 points in 61 games.
