Player Discussion Brad Marchand X- Return of the Rat

[RoccoF14]

I hate the “cash in” thought. Culture matters. He retires wearing the spoked B.

Exactly. Nobody is untradeable, and any good GM listens, or should be listening, to any offers that are proposed. However, you don't actively shop #63 because he needs hip surgery and is on the back 9 of his career.

That sends an awful message.

Imagine what the lines look like in October if Bergy walks.

 

[rocketdan9]

With Grz out and now Marchand... maybe the Bruins should pull a Golden State Warriors

Basically tank for a high lotto pick and regroup for the season after

Lindholm knee could use a break. Pasta obliques needs a break. Etc.

 

[BMC]

Well that sucks.

But it sure explains the drop off in his play at the end of the season & playoffs.

 

[DKH]

Excellent- should be even better

Cap space till Thanksgiving

DeBrusk stays

 

[Saxon Eric]

ABANDON SHIP!

 

[RoccoF14]

Yeah, people get old and retire. Franchises have their down years. Happens to the best of them...

That's life.

 

[DKH]

By the time fantasy football season ends he will be back

 

[quietbruinfan]

Bedard watch begins. (Harry would do it)

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

We are going to miss him, but I hope neither he nor the team rush him back. If it takes until November or December, then the Bruins compensate with the younger players and maybe this becomes a bridge year to the next generation….especially if Bergeron retires

 

[GoBs]

Lottery here we come

 

[Alicat]

The doom and gloom begins.

Good for Marchy to get it fixed now.

 

[Saxon Eric]

Debrusk back to LW
Lysell to RW
Let's roll!

 

[GloveSave1]

I knew he was hurt. The burst wasn’t there. Amazing what he accomplished with two blown out legs.

Debrusk back to LW
Lysell to RW

How about Beecher in the middle?

Give Studnicka a chance also

 

[smithformeragent]

My bad.

Am I doing it right, now?

 

[Alicat]

My bad.

Am I doing it right, now?

Questioning his character was pathetic.

Look no further than Krejci hip surgery.

Play all the kids!

 

[Ladyfan]

See you around Thanksgiving Brad. You will be missed

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Not worried everything will be all right

 

[EvilElf63]

Godspeed in your recovery 63!

 

[Spooner st]

Doing it right away was the best decision. No matter the day or time it was announced.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Lol.

Pasta - Coyle - Hall

1st line?

Better to have it done now though then when he's a year older plus 6 months means he should be back around December-ish I would think*.

Edit: I know Pasta is a RW but who knows.

Extra cap room to trade for Tavares
