NHL Analyst Warns Maple Leafs Against Overpaying Panthers' Brad Marchand originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Brad Marchand’s postseason with the Florida Panthers has reignited interest in the veteran winger as he approaches free agency on July 1.

The Florida Panthers can repeat as Stanley Cup champs with a win in Game 6 or 7. Trading for Marchand has been a huge part of the Panthers’ latest run.

It’s 2011 all over again for Brad Marchand, who at 37 is showing signs he’s getting better with age in inching the Florida Panthers to within one victory of repeating as Stanley Cup champions.

$8 million still feels like a lot of money for an aging player, particularly one playing in a Panthers system that routinely gets the best out of its skaters. Marchand has excelled on Florida’s third line with Eetu Luostarinen and Anton Lundell, two terrific two-way forwards who also do not need to deal with top matchups.

As the Florida Panthers try and close out the Stanley Cup final Tuesday night and claim their second straight championship, there’s a mountainous task for GM Bill Zito after this week.

With two goals in Game 5, the 37-year-old Panthers trade deadline acquisition joined elite Stanley Cup Final history.
