It would be hard sell for me to trade Marchand for a 2nd round pick. Just seems like a horrible return.

yeah you can't do that. if this thing goes totally off the rails and he doesn't sign, you're looking at a
claude giroux type of return when the flyers sent him to florida with a couple of warm bodies and
a 5th round pick. philly got a 1st round pick, owen tippett (who was a very good prospect at the time)
and a 3rd rounder.

but i'm signing this guy all day long and twice on sunday. too important to deal (unless they do some
type of thing like keith tkachuk did with the blues, where they traded him and then he signed with them
on july 1).

Yeah unless he randomly retires, i hope he stays at a reasonable # IF he can still lead the team and him and his family are still in a place they want to be.

Oh for sure, but I don't think they're desperate to trade their captain and life long Bruin.

I don't think they should be desperate to trade him but they should absolutely be exploring it as that's part of their job. I just don't see why you absolutely have to keep a soon to be 37 year old Marchand when the team is not a contender.

People are still upset the Bruins didn't keep Bobby Orr even though he only played another what 50 NHL games before retiring? Blackhawks terrible the next decade Bruins annual contenders.

Marchand is a future HOFer and career Bruin seeing him in another sweater will be very upsetting to a lot of people.

Has he been offered an extension?

I'd rather it come from the next GM. Give him term and shake hands to ride it out on LTIR if he falls off.

It would be cool to have him be like Mark Stone and sit out the regular season when he's old but come back to play 4th line playoffs.
