Cauz predicted Marchand would end his career with the Anaheim Ducks, who are valued at $1.3 billion (according to Forbes),<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrad is not finishing his career in Florida,&#8221; Cauz said. &#8220;No way he\u2019s going to finish in Anaheim. That\u2019s my prediction. Brad Marchand, Anaheim Duck, 2029. Count it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marchand had a strong first season for Florida. He played a crucial role in helping the Panthers win the 2025 Stanley Cup, scoring 10 goals and adding 10 assists in 23 playoff games. His performances in Games 2 and 5 stood out. <\/p>\n<p>Marchand\u2019s move to Florida was not his plan. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/nhl\/boston-bruins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Boston Bruins<\/a>, who drafted him in 2006, traded him on March 7 after contract talks broke down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love the organization,&#8221; Marchand said in March, via The Athletic. &#8220;I wanted to stay there. But at the end of the day, I also know that business is business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marchand has played for two teams, the Bruins and the Panthers, in his 16-year career.<\/p>\n<p>Brad Marchand reacted to Lane Hutson&#8217;s father&#8217;s comments<\/p>\n<p>Brad Marchand reacted to the comments of Lane Hutson\u2019s father, Rob Hutson, about his son\u2019s Olympic future. Rob suggested Lane might play for Team Canada after being left off from Team USA\u2019s camp roster in August.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You never know what happens in the future,&#8221; Rob said on Friday, via &#8220;Recrutes Habcast.&#8221; &#8220;My Boys are also Canadian.&#8221;                            <\/p>\n<p>Lane holds dual citizenship and is eligible to represent both countries. <\/p>\n<p>Marchand, who joined Team Canada\u2019s orientation camp, reacted on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;@lanehutson_ get this guy in check,&#8221; Marchand wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Lane, who won the Calder Trophy last season, recorded six goals and 66 points in 82 games. However, despite his strong rookie year, he was not invited to Team USA\u2019s camp. The situation has sparked discussion about whether he could switch sides for the 2026 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p>\nCancel<br \/>\nSubmit\n<\/p>\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" data-lazy=\"\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<p>About the author<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/975469-1716662542-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Abhilasha Aditi&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;<\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nAbhilasha is an NHL writer at Sportskeeda.
