'Want my captain back': Bruins' fans spark a debate as Brad Marchand leads the Florida Panthers to Stanley Cup Finals
Brad Marchand, the former captain of the Boston Bruins, spent sixteen years with the team before he was traded to the Florida Panthers. While the Florida Panthers defeated the Carolina Hurricanes and have reached the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals for the second time in a row, many Bruins' fans are unable to believe that Brad Marchand is no longer a part of their team.

Brad Marchand leads the Florida Panthers to the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals but Bruins' fans want him back
Recently, a fan account of Brad Marchand made a post on X that read as, 'don sweeney i hope you are miserable for the rest of your life and that the bruins never win anything as long as you're a gm for what you did to brad marchand' and this has sparked a debate.
A fan commented, 'Letting players leave for nothing is exactly a reason the bruins have no depth in prospects. He actually did the right thing', while another fan wrote, 'Sweeney could've held onto him and continued contract negotiations and maybe Canada would've made it to the final instead of Switzerland..'
A third fan wrote, 'I'm glad he's doing well in Florida but I just want my captain back!'
However, some fans have supported the Boston Bruins' move to trade Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers.
A fan wrote, 'Wrong. When a long term deal wasn't in the cards, Marchand wanted a chance at another Cup. Sweeney did him a favor and wrangled a deal with Marchand's team of choice to pursue a Cup without much leverage on trade deadline day.
If he gets his Cup, you may see him return as C for the Bs.'
Another fan commented, 'Sweeney did him a solid, they couldn't agree on new deal and moved him to contender , its wasn't marchand's fault the bad drafting and roster management caught up to Sweeney.'
While joining a new team might have been tough for Brad Marchand in the initial few weeks, the star player is now having the time of his life in the Florida Panthers.
Now, all eyes are on the Florida Panthers as the team is all set to face the Edmonton Oilers for Game 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals on Wednesday.
