Brad Marchand Signs 6-Year, $32 Million Deal with Edmonton Oilers
In a stunning development that has rocked the NHL, veteran winger and former Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand has officially signed a 6-year, $32 million contract with the Edmonton Oilers. The deal, confirmed just hours ago, marks one of the most high-profile moves of the 2025 offseason.
Marchand, 37, spent his entire 16-year NHL career with the Bruins, where he became one of the most productive and polarizing players in the league. Known for his grit, goal-scoring, and leadership, he captained Boston through multiple deep playoff runs and lifted the Stanley Cup in 2011. Now, he’s set to bring that same energy and experience to an Edmonton team determined to win it all.
The Oilers, fresh off a heartbreaking Stanley Cup Final loss, wasted no time making a bold statement. Adding Marchand to a lineup already featuring superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl sends a clear message: they are going all-in for a championship. Marchand is expected to slot into the team’s top six and provide both offensive production and veteran leadership in the locker room.
“This is about winning,” Marchand said during his introductory press conference. “Edmonton has the pieces, and I want to help bring a Cup to this city.”
For the Bruins, the departure of their long-time captain officially signals a new era. While many fans are sad to see him go, Marchand leaves behind a legacy of loyalty, fire, and unforgettable moments.
The Oilers now have one of the deepest and most dangerous forward groups in the NHL. With Marchand’s signature on the dotted line, Edmonton may have just found the missing piece to turn their Stanley Cup dreams into reality. The countdown to October has never felt so intense.
