US EditionBack-to-Back Stanley Cup Champion Panthers Re-Sign Brad Marchand and Aaron Ekblad, AP Sources Say
- The Florida Panthers re-signed Brad Marchand to a six-year, nearly $32 million contract extension on Monday before NHL free agency began.
- This extension followed Marchand's trade from the Boston Bruins to Florida at the trade deadline amidst questions about retaining key players including Sam Bennett and Aaron Ekblad.
- Marchand, 37, scored 10 goals and 10 assists in the 2025 playoffs, becoming a fan favorite after helping Florida win their second consecutive Stanley Cup.
- Marchand finished second in Conn Smythe voting and joined Ekblad and Bennett, who also signed long-term extensions, collectively leaving Florida with approximately $5.75 million in cap space.
- These signings secured core players for the Panthers ahead of the new season but may force roster moves to manage salary cap constraints.
