Brad Marchand's Wife Drops Surprising Hint About What's Next for Their Family

In one of the more surprising trades in recent NHL memory, the Boston Bruins traded longtime franchise mainstay and captain Brad Marchand to the divisional foe Florida Panthers at the Trade Deadline in March.

It was especially ironic considering that the Panthers had knocked the Bruins out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in both 2023 and 2024.

Marchand was one of several Bruins traded by general manager Don Sweeney at the Deadline; the list also included Brandon Carlo, Charlie Coyle, and Trent Frederic.

While the Bruins missed the postseason, Marchand and the Panthers have already beaten the Tampa Bay Lightning in Round 1 and are now preparing to face the Toronto Maple Leafs in Round 2; last year, Marchand helped the Bruins beat the Maple Leafs in a hard-fought 7-game series.

While Marchand didn't close the door on potentially returning to the Bruins via free agency, a recent social media post from his wife may show otherwise.

Before being traded to the Panthers, Marchand was in his 2nd year as Bruins captain after succeeding Patrice Bergeron; he had 47 points (21G, 26A) in 61 games.

He was the longest-tenured player on the Bruins at the time, and still ranks 4th in team history in games (1,090) and goals (422), 5th overall in points (976) and 6th overall in assists (554).

He's in the final season of an 8-year, $49 million deal he signed in 2016 with an AAV (average annual value) of $6,125,000.
