Brad Marchand - Greatest Contract Of All Time?

[PaulD]

The only people that hate him are fans of other teams in the East. Everyone else loves him.

I'm a Habs fan and I like Marchand. He grew on me over the years.

 

[dredeye]

Not bad contract. Result in 1 title in 20 years.

Is that you rioting in your avatar after that 1 win lol. More than the entirety of your clubs history.

 

[POVERTY]

Geez - you guys are really taking all the fun out of this. Can't you give me and my fellow Bruin fans just one " ... and I wouldn't want him on my team even if he played for free " comment.

Sorry, what I was trying to say is rat man bad

 

[PaulD]

Whether its actually the greatest is irrelevant. The important aspect is having key players on lower $ contracts which helps fill out the roster more easily.

Yep.
But this thread is about Marchand the little super star. Not about cap management and salary budgets.

He's also cut out a lot of the over the line nonsense that infuriated people

Canucks fans def love him

 

[PaulD]

If the Leafs had a fraction of his heart and grit they’d be in the cup final

Dubas would have let him go so he could make the Beiber core rich beyond their wildest dreams.

So the four contracts of 45 mill a season for Pajama boy and the Beiber core ? Result in 1 round .
What's the smell test on that risk reward
Marchand is a champ and a big game player.
The best player in this first round series by a country mile. 36 years old.

Still 1 ring in 20 years for the "greatest" defensive forward and "greatest" contract of the last two decades. Facts are facts

So I guess using your logic every single Canuck player in history has been overpaid. Result in 0 Cups in 54 years.

Yup awesome generation for Boston. Talk like some dynasty. Last dance lol. Pure blasphemy to call last year the last dance after the real goat of sports. Completely shameless.

The cups was before that contract if we take that logic to its max.

2017-2018 to now, that said the Bruins have been the best regular season team during that Marchand contract:

By a good amount, the best defensive team by a good amount.

As a Panthers fan, I've always appreciated Marchand's game.

I love and hate him as a Sens fan. He does whatever he needs to do to help his team win. Couldn't give a f*** what anyone thinks about him as a player or if he is respected outside of his team and their fanbase. Guy would probably retire if Bruins tried to trade him.

OK THEN SOME PEOPLE LIKE HIM, HAPPY?

Crosby at $8.7M AAV since 08-09


think about that

Considering his lack of defensive awareness, the Pens are doing him a favour by keeping him financially comfortably employed.
Would probably be in the 2nd round of the playoffs already if Canadian Crosby Media (CCM) propaganda didn't still run rampant.

Can somebody translate this into English for me ???? No not you PajamaBoy - we've definitely heard enough from you in this thread.

Now that's what I expected. Thanks.

They've been arguably the most consistently competitive team in the NHL throughout those 20 years. There's like, 3-4 teams in the NHL who wouldn't swap their last 20 years with Boston's

Good thing he wasn't drafted by the Leafs .......it would be 11 mill a year with 0 Cups

Can't imagine how bad you would ripping him if that were the case.

 

[PaulD]

Matthews , Marner, Tavares .....6pts
35 million

Marchand 8 pts ...... 6 million

 

[danisonfire]

The rat king now has the most playoff goals ever for the Boston Bruins.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

I'm a fan of another team in the East and I don't hate him

This is like the opposite of "everyone else likes ned Flanders"
