Update in Brad Marchand's contract raises even more questions for Bruins management
Captain Patrice Bergeron's future is still undecided, making Brad Marchand an even more critical piece in Boston. With three years remaining on his $6,125,000 contract, you could probably guess that any team in the NHL would love to have him.
This summer marks the end of a Full No-Movement Clause (NMC) that the two sides agreed upon when Marchand signed his 8-year, $49 million contract in 2016. He'll have to provide the Bruins with a list of six teams he would be willing to be traded to. The Bs are unlikely to trade him, but if they decide on a rebuild, Marchand should provide an excellent return.
Marchand's salary will be just $2,000,000 with bonuses totalling $3,000,000 plus. After 2022-23, the list grows to a 15-team no-trade list, but in the final year of the deal, the list changes back down to eight teams. The cap hit stays the same throughout the deal.
