Brad Marchand has had an incredible year and a half. From setting career-highs in goals and points to representing Canada twice at the World Championships and the World Cup of Hockey, Marchand has proven to be one of the best hockey players in the entire world. He was also named to the 2017 NHL All-Star game. His play earned him a brand new contract worth $49 million that will keep Marchand in Boston through the 2024-25 season. His next accomplishment, however, could be winning the Hart Trophy – awarded annually to the NHL’s Most Valuable Player.
While he’s always been known as an offensive threat, Marchand’s devious tactics and pest-like play on the ice has always overshadowed his ability.
