Sherri West+FollowMarchand Stays: Panthers Lock Down The RatHuge news for Cats fans! The Panthers just inked The Rat, Brad Marchand, to a six-year extension worth $32M, keeping him in Florida till he’s almost 43. After his clutch playoff run (10 goals, 20 points!), it’s clear GM Zito wasn’t letting Marchand, Benny, or Ekblad walk. Do you think this long-term gamble pays off, or will age catch up to Marchand before 2031? Let’s hear your takes! #Panthers #BradMarchand #NHLFreeAgency #Sports #IceHockey20Share
Bryce Clark+FollowLauko’s Grit: End of the Road in Boston?Looks like Jakub Lauko, the fan-favorite grinder, is heading to free agency and wrapping up his second stint with the Black and Gold. According to Steve Conroy, the Bruins aren’t giving Lauko a qualifying offer, signaling a shift in the bottom-six. With Khusnutdinov re-signed and young guns like Minten and Poitras in the mix, it makes sense, but Lauko’s energy will be missed. Thoughts on who should fill his shoes? #NHLFreeAgency #BruinsNation #Lauko #Sports #IceHockey00Share
david52+FollowLeafs Eye Habs’ Hit Machine Pezzetta?Word is the Buds might be eyeing Michael Pezzetta, the Habs’ hard-hitting grinder, when free agency opens. With 710 hits in just four seasons, Pezzetta’s not about finesse—he’s about bringing the pain. Imagine the energy if Toronto snags this local boy from their Original Six rivals! Could Pezzetta’s grit be the missing piece for the Leafs’ playoff push? Let’s hear your takes, Leafs Nation! #LeafsForever #NHLFreeAgency #Habs #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowCould Boeser Be Boston’s Missing Piece?Insiders are buzzing after Elliotte Friedman dropped a bomb on Spittin’ Chiclets: the Bruins might chase Brock Boeser in free agency. With Pasta already lighting it up, adding Boeser could give Boston two legit scoring lines—if they solve the center puzzle. Could a Poitras or rookie Hagens step up, or does Sweeney have another move up his sleeve? If Boeser finds his groove again, the B’s could roll out three 30-goal wingers. Would this make Boston a true Cup threat? #NHLFreeAgency #Bruins #Boeser #Sports #IceHockey01Share

After the Panthers locked up Ekblad and tightened their cap, it looks like the Leafs are now the frontrunners for Brad Marchand.

Imagine Marchand chasing his 1,000th NHL point in blue and white—would that shake up the Bruins-Leafs rivalry or what? Bruins and Mammoth fans, are you sweating yet? #LeafsNation #NHLFreeAgency #MarchandWatch #Sports #IceHockey10Share
Molly Tucker+FollowGeekie’s Big Payday: Bruins Betting on BreakoutBruins fans, what do you think of Don Sweeney locking up Morgan Geekie for six years at $5.5M per? After a breakout 33-goal season, Geekie’s gone from bottom-six grinder to top-line threat—shooting a wild 22%!

Could this move finally solve our center woes, or is it too much too soon? Let’s hear your takes! #NHLBruins #MorganGeekie #NHLFreeAgency #Sports #IceHockey00Share

GM Zito just admitted the Panthers have backup plans if they can’t keep both Ekblad—the blue-line beast—and Marchand, our clutch Cup rental from Boston. With free agency looming, it’s clear there’s no guarantee either returns. Would you rather keep the veteran agitator or our franchise D-man?
