Sorry I'm not committing to a player that age for 4 years, if these were contending years? Sure but they aren't. They have to start bringing in the next wave of guys at some point.
Tampa moved on from Stamkos and went with Guentzel which was the right move, this is a similar situation. Move out some higher priced aging guys and try to set yourself up to go after a legitimate top line talent.

I'm a Bruins fan first before any player and moving guys like Marchand is the right move.

Who says this team isn't a contender next year? This team wildly under performed this year and is still within range of a wild card spot. Are we saying that $5 million is high priced with what the cap looks like for next year? Even if you sign Marchand at $5 million you have $20 million in cap space this off-season to spend on talent

I thought the rumored "cadre" against Cassidy was Krejci, Debrusk, Frederic and Carlo. I could be totally wrong though and honestly my opinion of either player isn't dependent on their opinion of Bruce Cassidy so it's not a big deal to me either way, just what I thought I remember reading on here.

It was far more than that. If you look up "The coach lost the room" in the dictionary, you will see a picture of the 2022 Bruins.

I was not sure about Carlo, Freddy, but if that was the case why did Krejci comeback, I though Bergeron, and Gryz, were in the middle of it, but I guess mostly hearsay.

Krejci only came back after Cassidy was fired. He claimed it had nothing to do with the firing, but it is pretty suspect timing.

I'd rather save the 5 million and take a run at a bigger fish or give it to someone that can give you that production for 5-6 years instead of maybe 1.

Pastrnak is the guy you have to support and there will be better options than an aging Marchand. This team as constructed underperforming or not isn't a cup contender next season.

You know you refreshed my memory, Cassidy was all set to come back and then the rug was pulled out from under him. I have stated many times that bringing Krecji back was a mistake, they should have moved on from him, and now I am even more convinced I was justified in my opinion about bringing him back.
 
9th in the league standings by point percentage. Coyle and Peeke moving out might solidify us to fall down to Desnoyers/Frondell (6th and 7th projected) as a draft position. The bigger the sell, the better the pick. Potential top6 centers in 4 years.

Hard to miss the target in this market, Donny…

He’s probably up for the challenge.

Agree to disagree. Sure the early playoff exit was bad, but nobody in their right mind can say Krejci coming back was a negative when the team had the highest number of regular season points of all time.

Oh and ETA, nobody "pulled the rug out from under" Cassidy. He knew in January he was gone at the end of the year.

They need a lot of help and while they have some good pieces they lack top end talent. It would help if they drafted appropriately over the past decade. Not to say they whiffed on everyone, they didn’t, but that’s the difference as you know with Boston and say Tampa. If they spend wisely they should get back in a year or two but they really need to get younger and more skilled.

So in all honesty, he only came back when Cassidy was fired, which tells me unofficially that Bergeron back channeled that deal and Butch got fired.

Read my ETA. Butch getting fired was planned way before Krejci came back. He was a dead man walking after he got COVID and missed the western Canada road trip. After that, the team leaders held a meeting with management and he was as good as gone.

That is not what I said if you have ever read any of my posts in the past, I never ranted against Krecji, I was always a fan, but I felt at the time it would be best to start looking forward and refreshing this roster at the time, just like I feel it is time to move on from Marchand, it has nothing to do with me not saying they are good players.
 
Guess what? Cassidy gone for a while now, why don't we discuss the Julien canning as well? Coaches change all the time. I get it, Bruce won a cup after getting bounced here. Great, next...

Not as long as 2015 draft, and I am not sure if you are one of the culprits that continue to bring it up.
