Brad Marchand is a well-known name among Montreal Canadiens fans, especially due to his time with the Boston Bruins.
But this summer, Marchand, a player built for playoff hockey and mentoring young talent, will be an unrestricted free agent for the very first time in his career.
He'll be able to sign with any team he chooses.
Could he, against all odds, finish his career with the Montreal Canadiens?
The question was asked.. or almost!
Brad Marchand Sends a Message to the Montreal Canadiens and Canadian Teams Interested in Signing Him This Summer
Some sources suggested there was no chance a Canadian team - like the Canadiens or the Toronto Maple Leafs - could sign Marchand. But not so fast!
Elliotte Friedman directly asked him the question, and his response was very interesting.
There's hope!
"Could you see yourself playing in Canada?" - Friedman
"Everything is on the table! Yes, I'll listen to all the offers and we'll deal with that when the time comes and see what the best fit is for me! I love the media pressure!"

So, if Kent Hughes and the Canadiens want to contact him on July 1st, he's definitely going to listen.
It could be interesting!
At 37 years old, Marchand recorded 51 points in 71 games this season with the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers, and added a solid 17 points in 19 playoff games, including the incredible double overtime goal in game two to even the series!
If the Panthers end up winning the Stanley Cup, we'll have to look at that two-goal performance from Marchand as a turning point in the series.
