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

[BMC]

Meh.

Well I guess Marchand really likes it here and likes the direction the team is heading in


I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we like that he likes being here

Think again

 

[TP]

Deal was done before WC so price never went up

How do you know?

 

[Salem13]

Awesome news!

 

[BruinDust]

I guess he wasn't very insulted then by being paid +30% less than Toews and Benn.

He should of been.

This is a hometown discount if there ever was one.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Meh.

Wow, I didn't expect to be laughing and laughing for another week.

I want to go back and quote all the posts about Sweeney blowing this...and the B's having to pay more because of the World Cup...and Marchand leaving to play with Crosby...and it being all about the $$$...

Fortunately, I don't have the time, nor the inclination

Anyone saying the term is too long, is a complete moron.
The Bruins just got a sweet cap hit aav in Marchand's prime UFA years.
Amazing deal imho.

ps the main board is mentioning term and it's teh funneh.

 

[Seidenbergy]

Might be the 1st time everybody on hf agrees that this is a great deal!

You must've missed one or two posters on the last page.

It's a dsicount, but it's not insulting. It's 50 million bucks and an 8 year commitment. That's not an insult at all, which was I was getting at. I would have easily paid him 7M no question about it, but to some players the years are worth more.

Haggs is pissed. He has to think of something else for clickbait now.

Haha I'm sure he'll come up with something eye catching. Maybe he'll urge DS to go after crosby...

Full NM for first 5 with limited no trade after that. Not bad.

 

[Ladyfan]

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.

I am very pleased.

 

[Ladyfan]

Very happy you were right!

I had a heads up from someone who lives in N.S.

I am happy too

 

[LouJersey]

You guys think Marchand signs this deal if Sweeney gives up last year while firmly entrenched in the play-offs and deals Eriksson for two 2nd's?

Loyalty is a two way street, and I think Sweeney and Marchand have both shown that lately.

I'm glad your were right. This is a great deal.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

So happy right now! What a deal!

He'll be kicking the Trouba horse long after it's dead.

I think I can say that MOST here are happy he is staying

 

[BigBadBruin8]

Huge.

 

[Ladyfan]

I am good with this !

 

[BadBruins]

Wow. Much better than expected. That 8th year probably knocked the annual average down a good chunk. That's a long term though. Value is still good overall. Backes and Krejci are off the books in the final 3 or 4 years of the deal anyway.

 

[DKH]

How do you know?

I worked as a Seer in Salem. I usually only use my powers for picking football games (although I did take Steelers yesterday)

A couple of friends told me but I actually figured it would be when he got back they'd announce it

 

[Bruin4Life]

Great Cap hit. Im ok on term.

Love this deal.

Great post as usual

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Well this is a nice little start to the week. Heck of a deal for the B's. Glad the little rat is sticking around.

To bad but I bet if they marched up Trouba would work out great here
