The Marchand trade wasn’t the only big trade by Florida this season; the Panthers acquired defenseman Seth Jones from the Chicago Blackhawks on March 1. Florida has recently been playing without Aaron Ekblad, who was suspended 20 games for violating terms of the NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program on March 10.

Boston’s last Cup win came in 2010-11, Marchand’s first full NHL season. During that playoff run, the Atlanta Thrashers relocated to Winnipeg. Boston drafted Dougie Hamilton after that, and superstars Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews were still years away from joining the league.

Marchand, who was acquired from Boston in a shocking trade-deadline move on March 7, remains on track with his original timeline after enduring an upper-body injury and could return as early as April 8.
