That's why I think he'll be back July 1.

He might not be back. Gap in terms of years, which won't change in the off season. Somebody will give him the 4 years he is seeking.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

It's a bummer but a bummer everyone will forget when the B's draft Hagens, Misa or Frondell

 

[Gee Wally]

I appreciate Sweeney’s honesty.
He’s saying exactly what we have been saying here for months. Tough pill to swallow but it’s the reality of the situation.

Also glad to hear Marchy had some input to destination.

What I’m hearing about a Brad Marchand trade and what the Bruins expect in return

The Bruins have made it known they are serious about trading the captain, and as of Thursday night they had set a high price.

www.nytimes.com

Dom posted that the B's offered 2 and he wanted 4.

It was never about money with Marchand.

Thank you

 

[Alicat]

So like I mentioned Marchand wanted to be a Bruins for life on his terms. Not like Bergeron who took paycuts

It was not about money FFS. It was about TERM. Sweeney just said it was about term.

Well depends if

That's why I think he'll be back July 1.

Not if he wants 4 years .

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

That's why I think he'll be back July 1.

I’m less than hopeful hearing the “gap on term” in the presser

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

So the 2nd which might turn into a 1st was really what we got for Marchand? Wow terrible.

In another 3-4 years let alone the time for that prospect to begin developing into the next Beecher. Correct. Pastrnak will have retired by then.

 

[Alicat]

Term is not money.

 

[SPV]

Lost on Marchand (unless Marchand remains injured/leaves Florida)
Lost on the Buffalo one

Otherwise absolutely won each trade individually. Sweeney did well but these last two trades sours the success a bit.

Yeah the Marchand one is a loss, but if he was leaving anyway then I’m okay with getting something instead of nothing. I’m fine with the risk on Jokiharu, a late 4th rounder isn’t much value, so a gamble that he could work out and re-sign is pretty low risk, at minimum that’s probably a draw.

 

[mar2kbos]

He has to play in 25% of the playoff games for a first. Weird

 

[Coach Parker]

So like I mentioned Marchand wanted to be a Bruins for life on his terms. Not like Bergeron who took paycuts

Wait, we need to stop that narrative. Brad has taken hometown discounts every single contract. Every single one. He didn't muddy the waters here, he saw McAvoy, Pastrnak and Swayman all get value and not take discounts. Bruins didn't want to do that and the term. Fair for both.

 

[Gee Wally]

Brad has to play. 25% of playoffs first two rounds.
Thats the condition for the first round pick.

 

[Boston Bandit]

He just said Brad has to play 25% of the games in the playoffs (in the first two rounds) for the 1st pick

 

[Over the volcano]

guys are quick

 

[Absurdity]

Conditional 1st is dependent on if Marchand plays at least 25% of playoff games for the Panthers.

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Marchand needs to play at least 25% of the Panthers first two rounds of the playoffs for the 2nd to become a 1st.

 

[Gee Wally]

He has to play in 25% of the playoff games for a first. Weird

Because of his injury. Must be pretty bad.

 

[Mione134]

I would of rather just kept him.

But if he wanted this...okay.


If they're far apart money wise, I don't anticipate a reunion over the summer.

Sad times

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

So like I mentioned Marchand wanted to be a Bruins for life on his terms. Not like Bergeron who took paycuts

Who knows if Marchand wanted years at a discount. Issue is for 35+ contracts even if he is injured or retires the salary cap stays. 4 years is a big commitment even at 3-5 million let alone 7.

 

[mar2kbos]

He didn’t take a discount. He got paid what he was worth at the time of the contract. His contract was locked in well before those guys got their money.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Term is not money.

Yep, that’s what I mean, they could not agree on length of new contract, not sure if that changes in the summer

 

[Trizz617]

can`t wait for those who screamed this team needs to blow it up now complain Sweeney and Neely have done just that

Exactly! Cant have it both ways. This is a promising day in B's land!

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Mittelstadt is en route to Tampa.
