Bruins make stunning decision to trade captain Brad Marchand to the hated Florida Panthers at the trade deadline
Tuesday features an all-time storyline as former Bruins captain Brad Marchand makes his return to Boston. He will play his first game on the Florida Panthers, where he was traded to last Friday during the trade deadline.
Don Sweeney explained the decision that went into the team trading captain Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers for a conditional pick.
Boston’s blueline is missing its three best minute munchers in McAvoy (injured), Lindholm (injured) and Brandon Carlo (traded). They don’t have the horses to slow Reinhart and Florida’s lethal top line or power play.
Marchand is week-to-week with an upper-body injury and will not play Tuesday, but he will join his new team for the start of a six-game road trip.
