Bruins are right. He will be 37 after this season. Four years is too much

Yep, I’m with you. 2x$5M i wouldn’t mind. Otherwise I think you have to move him.
Him walking would be catastrophic.
I’d try to meet him in the middle.
2 years at 5M per
Or
3 years at 4M per.

My head is still swimming from that Brock Nelson trade. Got to move Marchy at those prices. Just have to.

I have no fear of him walking. If he’s a Bruin tomorrow they will get a deal done
just wrote (and passed) a technical certification - my wife is concerned about the absolute billow of smoke that just escaped my garage workshop, with me emerging from it wearing my Garnet Hathaway limited edition Bruins jersey and a catatonic look in my eyes
it's deadline day, let's go!

lol. I mean he's basically trying to get himself traded.

I am not giving him 4 years at 37, and certainly not for 5 mil, move on Brad. Underpaid, he signed that contract, that is on him and his agent. With that logic, you can have a reversed situation, where Swayman and Elias will play for league minimum, because they have been overpaid.
It is but a lot of teams would give him 7 mil x 2 as a UFA

Might be on to something, or he knows Sweeney is incompetent enough to give him that type od deal.

Let’s fight through this….
With Coyle being the 2nd best 3rd line center available (behind Laughton) and the return for Nelson (same age as Coyle) - I think they could open up that 2nd line RW spot and get a 1st OR a solid prospect with some retention on the salary.
If the Leafs miss out on Laughton, could Coyle be a good 3rd line option?

I hope the Bruins don’t limit themselves to just the Western Conference. If the plan is to re-sign him on July 1, then send him to Washington, Carolina or even Toronto. Let him go recruit Mitch Marner.

If he wants to come back to Boston and they're offering similar deals as everyone else he'd come back. If teams are stepping up offering 4 year $20 million dollar deals they can have him.
Love the guy but this team isn't in a position to be bending over backwards for a 37 year old.
today of all days I implore all of you to temper your emotions in favour of the logical side of your brain
we need a refresh, and refreshes can sometimes be painful
like this hemorrhoid I am dealing with that's the size of a small citrus fruit

He can get good money for 2 years and he knows it. 5 mil per on a 2 year deal is insulting. I don’t care how old he is he can still play at a high level
No way do you give Marchand 4 years . I am with the Bruins here 2 years max

If I’m Rantanen, I’m not signing sh*t. Take it to the summer, see who really wants to give you a bag, and how big that bag can be. You’re still in the playoffs currently, and there’s no reason to settle.

Just tear it down. Trade Marchand for hopefully a late 1st and see what kind of capital you can get for the offseason when you hopefully fire Sweeney which isn’t likely but I can hope.
