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.

If I’ve done anyone an injustice there, it’s Kivi, who’s had a couple of great performances this year. Either way, if I were a Boston fan, I’d be bummed about that return. I don’t know how valid the Recchi comp is (and like I said, I also don’t have an educated position on Marchand’s current value, but if he was solid in the playoffs last year…)

The relevance is that if the Avs are trading for Marchand, the return should be similar to what Recchi cost as a rental, not inflated because Recchi was good while on the subsequent UFA contracts he signed with Boston. If you want to offer Marchand + 2nd for a couple of nothing prospects like Olausson and Foudy, I'm pretty sure most of my fellow Avs fans would accept. But when Bruins fans start talking about Nuke or Ritchie or Gulyayev or 1st round picks, then the answer quickly becomes a hard no. Recchi's play 15 years ago doesn't really change that.

If Colorado want Marchand they need to give Colton to ckearde Marchand Salary on cap space.
What Colorado need to add when Marchand is there as a rental and Colton got term ?

Oh I see. You're nuts.

Says the guy expecting a huge return for a 36 year old 60 point rental.
