Value of: Brad Marchand to Colorado

[KillerMillerTime]

A plug, a donkey, and a lotto ticket? These are sad times

I wanted to see what that persons view was going somewhat to each extreme with actual NHL players are. I actually want Boston to do a 2 month tank to get a top 5-10 pick. So more trying to flush out his trade parameters.

That said Kiviranta is pacing for 17G this year.

Utterly nonsense! Recchi had a significant impact on the Bruins in his time in Boston beyond 2011.

But he only played 29 games (18 regular season + 11 playoff games) as a rental after being acquired on March 4th, 2009. Everything else he did in Boston came after they re-signed him as a UFA.

You guys got Recchi and a 2nd in exchange for Martins Karsums and Matt Lashoff in 2009, two years before you won the Cup. You could have kept the trade capital and signed him as a UFA and gotten the same result.

It also rained in Vancouver that day.

I don't see the relevance of either.

Colorado fans were downplaying Marchand's impact because he's 36. I made a point about how Recchi had a huge impact on Boston's Cup run, despite being old. What difference does it make how or when we acquired him? The point still stands that older players can have a huge impact on a playoff run.
