Player Discussion Brad Marchand XI - Marching forward we go

[22Brad Park]

And if he says he wants to stay, looking for 3 yrs at 7 mi per

Or if he says he wants to the end of
the season to think it over

What do U do ?

Well a guy who took less to stay in prime yrs does not strike me as type to ask that at his age.Anyhow,we will know soon.

Did he thou?

Trading Marchand would be tricky since he likely wants to be a start to finish Bruins and is only chasing a Cup here

he’s signing an extension here it’s just would he be willing to go play 5+ weeks somewhere else

Truth be told it don't matter what he thinks if Sweeney wants to trade him.That said it's a respect thing to ask him he has earned that right.I am fine either way but still smart enough to know he is their best trrade chip..

1 year at a time if we are bringing him back.

Yeah, that's a great deal if you're Boston. I just don't see the player agreeing to that, especially with a club that's a bubble team, at best. He'll get better offers elsewhere.

This is his last contract and his Cup Window is very, very small. I get that he loves Boston, but that's only gonna carry you so far.....He's also earned the right to be a little bit selfish.

I think he did yes.

I don't really think he "took less" - He got market value and then became a bargain contract. Essentially he got what he was worth, then exceeded it with his play.

That is fair enough Sheppy but there is no way he asking what Bruin4 suggested .Be interested to see how this pan's out.He will be 37 .
