For his entire NHL career, Pierre Marc-Bouchard has known one thing. Wild hockey.
On the first day of NHL free agency as clubs wheel, deal, and form their 2013-14 rosters, Bouchard departs.
TSN’s Aaron Ward had it first:

The Star Tribune’s Michael Russo expanded:
Per @aaronward_nhl, Pierre-Marc Bouchard signs 1-year, $2 million deal w #nyislanders. First concussion at the Isle (Nate Thompson) #mnwild

Bouchard ranks second in Wild history in games played (565), fourth in goals (106), second in assists (241), and third in points (347).
