Marchand is not only an elite offensive player but also a notorious antagonist on the ice, admired by his team and despised by opponents. His comeback from double hip surgery was impressive, leading the team in points during the first-round series.
Marchand's value extends beyond offense, excelling in penalty killing and power play. He has evolved into a leader, benefitting from playing alongside Patrice Bergeron.
With 947 games played, he is on track to reach the 1,000-game milestone and ranks among the Bruins' all-time greats. Trading Marchand would be a grave error that the Bruins should avoid.
