Player Discussion Brad Marchand XI - Marching forward we go

Great interview. What Chaos! has quickly become one of my favorite pods this season.

Again.... I think if Marchand actually wants to be here to end his career, he needs to sign that contract. There has to be a mutual agreement on an extension. If not, you need to sell to the highest bidder IMO.... even if you're in the playoff picture at the time. I would think he holds significant value given his playoff pedigree.

When long-term players leave the only organization they've known, it's usually over term.

If he gets to July 1st, I can see a contender offering up 4 years. Say the Bruins draw the line on 2, does the turn down the 2 extra years?

At 37 multiple surgeries, one year at a time, and do not move off that.

I'd be OK with 2 years.

3 years I start to think about it.

4 years is no bueno.

2 years and if he's still productive and wants to keep playing, 1 year at a time after that. I think that's fair for both parties.

Elliot Freedman was on NHL morning skate, this morning saying it sounds like the Marchand Negotiations hit a snag with the amount of term.

Honestly I think if the Bruins would offer him 3 years he's signed right now.

Honestly I think if the Bruins would offer him 3 years he's signed right now.

They would never do that, I still think he gets traded deadline day.

Missed this yesterday, old news to you,

Brad Marchand: Trade rumors 'not something that I really see happening'

As rumors continue to swirl about the Bruins' plans, Brad Marchand said on "What Chaos!" that he's not focusing on trade talks.

Devils would pay for Marchand if you're interested!

For what, my fine fellow?

What would you sign him for?

(I have no problem extending him, but it shouldn't be north of $6M)

Maybe 6 X 2/3.

Reading his comments, and from what I gather elsewhere, my sense is that they will resign him.

Of course, I would like to see Brad finish his career where he belongs.

Nonetheless he would fetch an excellent return.
