The former Boston Bruins star turned Florida Panthers playoff hero has no plans on leaving South Florida and requested a new contract from general manager Bill Zito.

I’m so happy that I don’t have to play against these guys anymore,” said the former Bruins captain and pending free agent, pointing to his Florida teammates.

Brad Marchand could be set to earn a raise and a long-term deal just months after his expiring contract was dumped by the Boston Bruins.
