Post Four Nations Face-Off is an NHL that is getting ready to fire up major trade decisions, and we've speculated about Brad Marchand's future with the Bruins recently, could it come to pass that he remains in Boston?
The Boston Bruins Captain has been traded everywhere recently, and suitors come in the dozens if we're talking about the teams.
He's been linked to the Colorado Avalanche, Washington Capitals, New Jersey Devils, Minnesota Wild, and more as of late.
But despite this, no trade has materialized, as GM Don Sweeney said post 4NFO they would prioritize negotiations with the Bruins captain.
With Marchand's latest comments making the rounds, it appears he expects everything to remain status quo with himself and his team.
That is despite their recent setbacks.
«The biggest thing is, when you go through adversity, and it comes in all kinds of different ways and it really just tests your character,» he said. «You don't always achieve every goal you're shooting for, but that's what builds great bonds and great friendships when you go through this adversity together and we're doing that.»
He's confident that the team can rebound from a season in 2024-2025 that has been plagued with missteps and inconsistent play throughout the year.
His only taste of winning so far was a short-lived success with Canada in the Four Nations Face-Off. Now, he looks ahead to 2025-2026.
«Obviously it hasn't been the season that we've wanted and we haven't had success that we would have liked this time of the year,» he continued. «But the good thing is that we're coming together over it. And at the end of the day, we may not achieve what we hope to this year, but that doesn't mean that we can't build for something greater and bring it back next year. We're going to work every single day to continue to improve and build our game and we're going to claw and fight every single day to get into the playoffs here.
There's a swell of teams who could utilize Marchand's talent, and leadership abilities in their locker room.
As he remains a UFA without a new extension signed, the team could still take calls on Marchand, despite his confidence in his future with the Bruins.
For now, we'll have to play the waiting game to find out the direction the Bruins will take.
