Player Discussion Brad Marchand X- Return of the Rat

[NDiesel]

He is getting better as the season goes on. I guess you don't recover in one week from 3 surgeries.

Brad looks great!

Well done captain!

I'm younger than him and I don't recover in one week from sleeping in the wrong position.

In all seriousness it's great to see him coming around

 

[GordonHowe]

Brad's in his groove, on the ice and off,

You have to love Marchand's style, He really does look like he walked off the set of Godfather 2 (The De Niro part set in the 1920s)

Good on him for personality socks

Marchand has scored 10 goals in his last 20 games (goals in 8 of the 20). Thru this
stretch, his play has looked as close to prime Marchand as you can expect given his surgeries and age. If he had Bergeron as his center, he probably would have another
2-3 assists to add to the 5 apples in that stretch. Marchand is playing remarkable hockey right now.

So do you deal him for the right return?

NHL trade tiers Big Board: Kreider, Rossi, Provorov among players generating buzz

While the trade deadline isn't until March 7, significant trades have already happened. Here are 68 players who could join a new team.

The Bruins trading Marchand is hard to conceive. He has worn the spoked B for 16 glorious seasons. He's captain for a team in a playoff race with 11 goals and 11 assists in 30 games. But his numbers have declined for two straight seasons, he's in the last year of a contract with a very thrifty AAV ($6.125 million) and has just an eight-team no-trade clause. He's a beloved member of the organization, but when the Bruins decided to move on to the next phase even the most cherished veterans aren't guaranteed participation -- just ask Zdeno Chara about that.

I would be pissed if the Bruins traded Brad. I see it as unlikely

Can't imagine at his age he will get the right return, given he leads team in Goals and
is their emotuonal leader by a considerable margin. Only guy close to his motor is Kastelic who has about 25% of his ability.

Plus Brad is an excellent captain

 

[Absurdity]

Marchand only gets traded if he requests a trade.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Yep

Wouldnt even consider it unless he wants it

 

[smithformeragent]

I love him as a player, and I like him as captain.

I’d consider anything to accelerate the rebuild.

I’d trade my mother for the right return.

 

[PB37]

Brad's a lifer.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Surprised to hear so much chatter about the Bruins trading Marchand considering the only ones talking about it have their heads firmly shoved up their own assholes.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I can’t see any sort of realistic return for Marchand that fills the void of his departure.

Just…why?
