Inside Brad Marchand’s Jaw-Dropping Net Worth and Shocking Bruins Exit

Professional hockey is who Brad Marchand is and what he does best. So, naturally, much of his net worth comes from playing in the National Hockey League (NHL) and the endorsement deals that come with it. And let us tell you, he earns a lot from being a professional hockey player. Here’s a little teaser into just how much money Marchand is making.

In March 2025, Brad left the Boston Bruins, the team he’d played 16 seasons for, and signed with the Florida Panthers. His new contract is a six-year, $31,500,000 deal that will carry him through to 2031, per Spotrac. And no, that’s no typo.

Given that figure, you’re probably wondering what kind of fortune Marchand is actually sitting on. Here’s a closer look at his net worth, some of the most notable moments in his career, and the reason he left the Bruins.

Brad Marchand has an estimated net worth of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In March 2025, he signed a $31.5 million, six-year contract with the Florida Panthers, which includes a major $25.5 million signing bonus, Spotrac noted. That essentially puts him at an average annual salary of $5,250,000, with about $4,250,000 coming from his signing bonus (divided over six years) and the remaining $1 million as base salary each year.

In total, Marchand will collect more than $5 million annually while playing for the Panthers through 2031. Obviously, Brad’s move to Florida was a big one, considering he had played for the Boston Bruins for 15 years (16 seasons). And during his time with the Bruins, he steadily worked his way up the ranks, proving to be a key asset to both the Bruins and the NHL.

Marchand began his hockey career playing junior hockey for the QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League). According to the NHL, he split his first season between the Val-d'Or Foreurs and the Halifax Mooseheads. If you didn’t know, Marchand was actually born in Halifax, Nova Scotia (nope, he’s not a Boston native!).

He went pro with the Providence Bruins of the American Hockey League and, by the 2009-2010 season, was approached by Boston. He made his NHL debut in October 2009, suiting up in the iconic black and gold for “The B’s.”

He made a quick impact on the Bruins, helping the team win the Stanley Cup in the 2010-2011 season, their first championship since 1972, according to the NHL. Over the next few years, his performance made it clear he was a standout player, and so the Bruins offered him an eight-year, $49 million extension in 2016, per Celebrity Net Worth.

2019 was another big year for Marchand and the Bruins. He led the team with 23 points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs over 24 games. The Bruins made it to the Stanley Cup Final but ultimately lost to the St. Louis Blues in seven games. Then, in September 2023, Marchand became the 27th captain of the Bruins, stepping into the role after Patrice Bergeron retired.

Aside from his career earnings, Marchand also earns an income through endorsement deals. He has partnered with brands like New Balance and Warrior Hockey, and he’s also worked with Dairy Queen on campaigns benefiting children’s hospitals.

It all came down to money. Simply put, Marchand didn’t think the amount offered matched the value he brought to the team, sources told ESPN. The Bruins offered Marchand a three-year contract, which initially started as a two-year deal, but the two sides couldn’t agree on the numbers. As a result, the Bruins traded Marchand to the Florida Panthers for a conditional second-round pick. He began playing for the Panthers in October 2025.
