Player Discussion Brad Marchand XI - Marching forward we go

[quietbruinfan]

I am for a full rebuild. Question is do you keep Brad for continuity?

 

[TCB]

I imagine if it becomes clear they will miss the playoffs then they will ask him what he wants to do.TB was a different situation.They did not want to pay Stamkos what was asked by his camp.

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 ?

Full rebuild ? Good to know you will be around in 15 years

I want Brad on 25-26 Bruins going forward

I want him playing for Colorado or Vegas this spring and the Bruins getting draft picks for it

Sweeney probably gives it to him.You are talking about a Bruins legend here, who has given everything his body can give to this organization.

This would be most logical thing to do but I am not sure it happens. See how things shape up as deadline looms closer.Mackinnon and him both from Halifax might help it along.

I don’t think he would go that long,term wise. Maybe compromise on a 2 year
deal.

Should be interesting none the least, hell for all we know Brad just might want to check out the open market and then decide. If so then Sweeney must move him, imo.

It also depends on the offers that come in, as I’m sure he’ll be receiving them.

I think Bruins can pry a first + an nhler + A prospect that could be very very good for them

Marchy
Vs
Avs 2025 1st
Ross Colton
Calum Ritchie

And Frederic in a package for Zegras, now Bs could get more speed and skills...

That would be nice deal for Marchand.

I appreciate everything Brad has done as a Bruin. He’s the only link to the ‘11 team. However, if trading him improves the team even a particle you move him and don’t look back. I don’t even care if they trade him and don’t attempt to resign him as a UFA. Take the best offer for Marchand and name Kastelic captain seeing as he’s the only guy who’s had a pulse every game.
The team has paid Brad Marchand many millions over the years and at this point owe him nothing other than #63 being retired in his honor. Have him come back in three years for a ceremony, everyone clap, raise his number and done.

Avs don't have a 2025 1st. Neither does Vegas, or Edmonton.

A 2026 1st is probably more valuable, it's a deeper draft, but you're pushing the impact of that player further down the line (and into Pasta's 30's).

That said, I don't think you could get Ritchie AND a 1st. That would be like getting two 1st's for a rental... and Ritchie is probably worth more than a 1st by himself. Not that I think he's a superstar, but he's not a lottery ticket either. He's developed every year, he was the #1C on Team Canada, and probably ready to play in the NHL next year (though I'll leave that determination to people who watch him every day).

I’m with you. Thats if the Bruins are out of it. Deal Marchy he’s your biggest chip to start a re-tool.

Bruins make the right moves in moving guys out, acquiring near NHL ready prospects and creating cap space, the rewards from the re-tool could should show dividends as early as next year.
