Marchand mulling Florida return, but focus on Cup
Briefly

Brad Marchand has expressed some interest in re-signing with the Florida Panthers, but his main focus remains on winning the Stanley Cup before addressing his future. Now an unrestricted free agent after 17 seasons in the NHL, Marchand’s outstanding performance, including 23 goals and 28 assists in the regular season and 17 points in the playoffs, makes him a valuable asset. Coach Paul Maurice praised Marchand's skills, likening him to Matthew Tkachuk, while Marchand emphasized the importance of living in the moment during the Stanley Cup Final.
"The longest you can go is two weeks, so you’re in the moment that entire time. You can’t have your mind in any other place other than right here and now."
"I didn't appreciate how good his hands are. They're kind of in that Matthew Tkachuk mode. That's a set of hands that's at the top end."
