The Florida Panthers made a significant move just before the trade deadline, acquiring forward Brad Marchand from the Boston Bruins. Despite currently being sidelined with an upper-body injury, Marchand’s gritty playstyle is expected to enhance the Panthers' offensive depth as they strive for their second consecutive Stanley Cup. This trade follows Florida's recent acquisitions of Seth Jones, Vitek Vanecek, and Nico Sturm, which indicate a focused effort to bolster their roster in pursuit of championship glory.
