The Boston Bruins are well-known for being able to retain elite talent for years at a time and likely for the rest of their career. They managed to ensure that Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, and Tuukka Rask all retired as Bruins not playing for any other team.
Marchand has played in over 1000 games for the Boston Bruins and has emerged as one of their top players since being drafted in 2006. At 36 years old, Marchand is entering the final year of his current contract with the Bruins and will represent them for at least another year.
