Former Bruins Brad Marchand traded to Florida, Brandon Carlo to Toronto

[Jorah Marshmont]

We might not win another game this year and I’m so here for it

OK the best thing about this season just became watching Leaf fans realize how terrible Carlo is. I don't know what world they're living in but they all think he's good

Bruins fans are the only ones who think he sucks.

 

[Blowfish]

Don f g with Panthers and Leafs. Hope both teams exit first round.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

This whole tanking thing is new but I'm kinda digging it.

 

[NDiesel]

Just my opinion, but I think this signals Marchy signing back with us, because I don't think the Bruins trade him to a division rival otherwise.

 

[violaswallet]

Who should I follow for Boston media for return?

So far I've only seen this:

 

[HustleB]

And then Marchand comes back with Bennett.

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

Maybe. But the Bruins aren't getting much better next season and he may get a taste of a new city and enjoy it more than he thought. No guarantees he ever plays for Boston again.

Brad grew up and matured with the Bruins.

I will miss him.

He basically forced his way out....

That’s not good.

 

[Thirty Seven]

This is great, hopefully Marchand becomes a menace on that team.

For sure...it's probably more wishful thinking on my part, but I just can't see Sweeney trading him within the division if he felt he was going to sign elsewhere next season.

 

[violaswallet]

That’s not good.

Florida fan here of course: depends on the benchmark. I have no idea what the cost will be, given injury and the fact that Florida won't be able to re-sign him. I imagine at minimum a first or Samo is coming back?

 

[Ned Bouhalassa]

What’s the return for 63?

 

[Guelph Bruin]

Fraser Minten from Toronto

 

[CAW1313]

sad day for me personally, huge Marchand fan!! Didn’t think they would really trade him. This sucks balls!!! Go get that cup Brad, i’ll be cheering for the Panthers this year.

 

[BostonBob]

Sounds like Minten is part of the return coming back from Toronto.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

if i was the type to buy another team's jersey, it would be really tempting to get a personalized Panthers jersey with Marchand's number and 'Rat King' for the name. its too perfect of a mashup

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

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

 

[badbrewin]

Hopefully, once these draft picks start turning into prospects, our prospect pool ranking actually goes up 6-8 spots

Fraser Minton played for Saskatoon (WHL) last year. I love that player.
