Utah Mammoth to make push for Brad Marchand despite Florida’s tax perks
The Utah Mammoth is poised to make a push for star winger Brad Marchand despite the tax advantages that the Florida Panthers can offer, according to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman on the "32 Thoughts" podcast on Friday.
Marchand's current contract expires on July 1st, at which point he will become an unrestricted free agent.
“I think Utah's in there. I think Toronto is going to be in there. And I think there are going to be other teams there as well. And it's going to be very interesting to see where Florida, an analytically heavy team, feels that it can go here. So I think that's going to be fascinating," Friedman said.Friedman pointed out that Marchand is likely to land a major raise, suggesting a deal worth $24 million, a three-year contract with an average annual value of $8 million.
