After 16 years with the Boston Bruins, left winger Brad Marchand said, at his introductory press conference, that he's excited to join the 1st-place Atlantic Division Florida Panthers and to help the team on a potential championship run.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Brad Marchand arrived at his introductory press conference Monday wearing a red pullover with the Florida Panthers logo on his chest, a blue Florida baseball cap pulled low. When someone mentioned he looked a little out of place in the color scheme, Marchand smiled. The red, he said, "brings out my eyes."

Marchand, speaking at the Panthers’ practice facility on Monday, said, "It was very disappointing" not to get an extension done with Boston.
