Former Bruins captain Brad Marchand was actually traded to a different team during the NHL trade deadline last season but told them he wouldn't play for them.
Don Sweeney decided to make some big changes last year during the NHL trade deadline.
He traded away a lot of big-name players, but the one that hurt fans the most was Brad Marchand being traded to a divisional rival.
Sweeney ended up trading his captain to the Florida Panthers, and Marchand went on to win his second Stanley Cup.
In the end, Marchand got what he wanted. After not being able to agree on a new contract with the Bruins, Marchand wanted to chase another Stanley Cup, and he did exactly that.
Well, now some new details have come out on the trade at the NHL trade deadline, and Marchand was actually traded to a different team before the Florida Panthers.

According to Brad Marchand himself, the Bruins actually ended up trading him to a different team an hour before the deadline.
The unidentified team ended up calling Marchand, but Marchand told them that he would not play for them.
Because Marchand stated that he wouldn't play for them, he ended up not getting traded there but instead to the Panthers, which was the "only team I was coming to."
