WE LOVE YOU, BRAD,

Revisit Brad Marchand's best moments as a Bruin

Brad Marchand's 16-year tenure with the Bruins came with plenty of memorable moments on and off the ice in Boston.

I don’t hate Florida as much as most of you. I think Tkachuk/Bennett/Marchand will be hilarious.

I posted this on the main Trade board but wanted to repeat it here for all of my Bruins brothers and sisters:

Bobby Orr finished his career on the Blackhawks. I know all the shenanigans behind it and how it should have never happened but let me repeat Bobby Orr finished his career on the Blackhawks. Orr didn't finish with the B's, Bourque didn't, other world class hockey players didn't. I love what Brad brought to the B's for all of these years but there is nothing sacred in professional sports, it's a business. Good luck to him.

Thinking about the chances of Marchand coming back.

If the term from the Bruins isn't there now, then it's not going to be there if he comes back this summer. Right? Is he suddenly going to be okay with a year to year thing like Bergeron?

So maybe he really is done with the Bruins for good?

I guess we'll find out in a few months.

But if he does come back, is he the captain again?

So many questions lol

Maybe winning a second cup changes his perspective.

I don’t know anything about his family situation, but it really seems like a lot of guys stay here after their careers are over.

If his kids are school aged, I’d guess they aren’t moving the whole family to Florida this late in the year.

If I’m right, maybe he and his wife decide they don’t want to uproot the family for his last 2-3 years and they take a deal in July that they wouldn’t today.

Oh man, I hate this. Marchand should've been a Bruin until the end of his career. Aww man, not happy at all.

Just like Orr, Esposito, Bourque, Thornton, Seguin and etc they all should have end their careers as Bruins

Do you everything if it wasn't for Marchand poor leadership maybe this would've happen.

My mom is taking this oddly hard.

“I f***ing cried twice!”

I just got her a Marchand jersey for her 57th birthday last month, too.

Your moms only 8 years older than me my new life path might be leaving my family just for the chance to make you call me dad

3 to 1 odds Brad licks someone and does a throat slash motion in this first game with the Panthers

 

[Brad3277]

That he didn’t block it says a lot

He would have signed an extension by now if he wanted to stay.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Can’t evaluate the Marchand return right now until we know where he lands next year, particularly if he doesn’t even play for the panthers or they bow out early

 

[PlayMakers]

I've seen the return for Marchand listed as a '27 1st OR a '28 1st. Anyone know what the conditions or deciding factor is with regard to whether it's '27 or '28?

I think it has to do with the Jones trade

This is hall of fame worthy

Why would that matter?

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Why would that matter?

Because the 2026 1st Florida sent to Chicago has conditions that can make it a 2027 1st

Got it. Thank you. (When you said Jones I thought you were referring to Max Jones.)

On one of the Panthers?????????

 

[Troublesome 85]

Just simmed my season in NHL 25
Couldnt dump Marchand at TDL
To Re-sign a 37 year old Marchand wants 13.5M a year 116 point season but both Marchands are crazy for wanting big money at their ages.

 

[chizzler]

San Jose got more for Walman than we did for Marchand. Walman, who Detroit paid a 2nd rounder just to get rid of less than a year ago.

Not mad they traded him to a contender. But the return is not even remotely worth it to me. That’s what I’m mad about. Like I said, other trades today I can get behind, but this one i hate

Remind you of the Buffalo hate when they had no choice in trading us Hall. Now you know how it feels. They hooked up Marchand.

 

[22Brad Park]

Who is our Captain McAvoy or Pasta?

Neither..Donny said no C will be handed out in his pressor

 

[22Brad Park]

This sucks so much. I was completely against trading Marchand unless he wanted out.

Sweeney said it best when he said his obligation is to the Bruins franchise .Later this deal with payoff.

 

[bruins19]

I still think he will end his career as a Bruin. I expect him to be resigned in the off season . I think Marchand and the Bruins have already talked about this being a possibility . Today we deal with now . This give Marchand another chance at a cup and the Bruins another asset

I am hoping you are right.

 

[22Brad Park]

Great. If all goes well they'll be competitive again just in time to move Pasta and McAvoy for more picks and prospects. Awesome.

See what free agency brings.
