According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, Marchand is reportedly sticking with the defending Stanley Cup champions for the long haul, inking a six-year contract extension worth just under $32 million.

Marchand has long been fond of saying he’d retire when the wheels came off. For $32 million over those six years, the Panthers have firmly tightened his lug nuts for a long haul. It won’t be fun for the Bruins to watch Marchand playing for a division rival for the rest of his career, but the Panthers may have done the Bruins a favor.
