GDT: 2025 NHL TRADE DEADLINE - ESPN+ and TSN 8 AM, NHL Network 10 AM, ESPN 2 2 PM, NESN 2:30 PM

Botched would be a 4 year deal

I'm good on a 2 year deal. I'll side eye 3 years but 4 years is way too much.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Trade Marchand immediately then. No brainer.

If he signs in the offseason for 2 years even better.

Here U go

Yes.... problem is he is already a declining 2d liner, heading for 3rd

 

[Alicat]

I didn't
You are saying the team should be loyal to the players but the players can leave as a FA

They are 2 totally different situations especially with Marchand. It would be understandable if he walked July 1 based on his age. It is akin to the Chara situation.

 

[Bergyesque]

I hope this team loses every game for the rest of the season if Marchand is traded. Great way to tear the team apart and hurt your ability to sign players.

I used to think that, but look, Tampa tossed out Stamkos, turned around and signed Guentzel.

It's exactly the same
Loyalty is a 2 way street
Demanding 4 years is not reasonable
More than 2....c ya

 

[Alicat]

I used to think that, but look, Tampa tossed out Stamkos, turned around and signed Guentzel.

Tampa f***ed up the Stamkos stuff because he didn't want to leave and Tampa wouldn't even talk to him. At least Marchand and Sweeney have had conversations.

 

[BamBamCam]

Why is Marchand so special? Where's a Young Harry Sinden when you really need him.

 

[GatorMike]

You'd have to think the Bruins are looking at a Bergeron/Krejci type deal with Marchand.

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

 

[Bruin4]

Ottawa getting one of their Defenseman ? Byram or Power?

 

[The don godfather]

Marchy is 37 when do you wanna trade him when team has hit rock bottom? Did you see that normal ending again last night? Get a dman at least. Get something.

 

[Kate08]

Is that the rumor? That would be an issue because his age means the cap hit goes nowhere even if he retires...

He should be looking for 2 years and reevaluate after.

It needs to be year to year at this point. He's going to be 37 in May, and he has lost a lot of tread on those tires.

I'd pay a little more for a year to year deal.

 

[Ladyfan]

I will root for the Habs until Sweeney and Neely are fired if they extend Marchand.

good for you

 

[The don godfather]

Gretzky was traded from Edmonton we can survive without marchy too. Its business hes 37 sell.

 

[Bruin4]

Sweeney better have a back up plan if he signs Marchand or doesn't end up moving him., Coyle /Carlo would need to be moved then. Sellers market, he just cant put his eggs all in one basket.

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

 

[BMC]

Here U go

So split the difference- 3 years with an option for a 4th.

This ain't rocket science.

 

[Bruin4]

Dallas should just say the hell with Rantanen and move in on Marchand. He's not worth all that money he's asking for, it'll get Jimmy Nill his walking papers, Marchand will get him a cup!

 

[Boston Bandit]

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

I usually do take trade deadline off but having to go in for further tests on Wednesday threw a wrench into those plans. Thankfully it all worked out

Good news! Congratulations!

 

[Absurdity]

Another center off the market. Coyle's value should be getting higher.

 

[The don godfather]

Darn I wanted Norris or cozens.

 

[BMC]

@Fenway do we have a back up if this place collapses??
