Player Discussion Brad Marchand IV - CONFIRMED signed 8 years @ 6.125/yr

[Seidenbergy]

Well then what do we worry about

The fact that the team and defense are even worse than last year, even with Marchand locked up.

Brad just got an 8 year deal according to 98.5

 

[dup7]

Anyone still think Marchand is only worth 6.5 million?

yes

AAV on Marchand is $6.125M.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Too many years

 

[bp13]

Steal

 

[EverettMike]

That's a great ****ing job by Sweeney.

Great ****ing job.

 

[BB88]

I was thinking please let it be less than 7 years but that cap hit isn't bad.

 

[alg363636]

Great deal IMO

 

[dtam83]

Too many years

but low AAV. you have to give on something, giving more years gives you more flexibility

 

[dup7]

Too many years

Great deal, Marchand obviously took less money to stay here. Would have gotten $7m plus on the market. Eight years is a long time but they had to do it to keep him. Devil you know is better than the devil you don't.

 

[EverettMike]

Marchand really wanted to stay. To give up that much per year so you can get an extra year proves that. The Bs now have two of the best contracts in hockey on their top line.

Ahhhhhhh. I love it! Changing my morning alarm to Brass Bonanza.

Hockey christmas.

 

[Dupell6]

Fantastic cap number...cant complain about the years at that price

 

[Midship]

Love it. AAV well below market

Bergeron + Marchand signed at roughly $13m/year combined long term is awesome. Compare that to Toews/Kane at $21M.

 

[Midship]

Brad will be with the B's for years !

Very happy you were right!

 

[Gee Wally]

That's a GREAT deal !!!!

wow!

 

[TP]

I love LOVE this deal. LOVE IT! I just said yesterday that his price is going to rise.

 

[EverettMike]

This is basically the opposite of how I felt about the Backes deal.

Brad Marchand Signs Extension 8 Years/$49M



8 year is long but the cap hit is low so I like it

Edit- Mods please merge with the Marshy discussion thread

 

[BluesTraveler]

A really great value for the majority of the contract, and if the cap goes up as Marchand potentially declines towards the end, its a low enough value that it can be moved.

 

[Ace0813]

Fantastic deal. Marchand ponied up and took a hometown discount.

this thread has brought me a lot of joy over the past week or so...
