According to former Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy, Brad Marchand might just be the perfect candidate to fill that role. Cassidy shared his thoughts during an appearance on the Cam & Strick podcast, stating:
While the Bruins had not held many internal discussions on the captaincy matter as of last month, it's expected that the 35-year-old Marchand will be named captain before the start of the 2023-24 season.
Despite his age, Marchand's qualities make him a strong candidate to take over the room and become the new #1 leader in Boston. His experience, will to win, and high expectations of everyone around him align with the characteristics of a captain, and his leadership by example will be a valuable asset for the team.
