As Brad Marchand navigates his final season under contract with the Boston Bruins, speculation is mounting over the future of the franchise’s long-time star and current captain. Before the start of the season, Marchand left the door open for his potential exit from the franchise.
At the end of October, Marchand denied Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman’s reporting that the forward has an agreement in place for a three-year extension, labeling that information as “false.” On Oct. 29, NHL insider Frank Seravalli shared his thoughts on the situation and revealed that, in his eyes, this saga only has one possible outcome.
Seravalli only sees one possible scenario and one that will keep both Marchand and the Bruins tied until the former decides to retire.
Discussing the situation on NHL Network Radio, via Jonny Lazarus, Seravalli dismissed any notion that Marchand would depart as he approaches unrestricted free agency, describing him as “a heart and soul Bruin.” “I don’t see a scenario where he’s anywhere but Boston,” Seravalli said The insider emphasized the evolution Marchand has undergone over his 16-year career, transforming from a promising young player into the undisputed leader of the Bruins and ultimately the captain of the franchise starting this season.
