Mathew Tkachuk, could be out for the remainder of the season, Marchand for a 4th this year, and a first next year, Tkachuk, comes back for the playoffs, Panthers get another cup and everyone is happy.

Either your under valuing his worth or I'm way off in feeling his worth is so much more than a 4th rnd pick and a first from a team who's more than likely will be in the top 5 in the league standings in 2026. I'd want NHL ready prospects along with a high pick, he just brings so much to a team, if the bruins make him available which I dont think they will but Id like to see it, but if they do, there will be a bidding war for his services. imo.

I would fly to Boston just to tar and feather Sweeney if the best he could do for a guy like Marchand is a 4th.

 

[Ladyfan]

I will be VERY disappointed if Brad isn't signed in Boston...unless he wants to leave, and I have not seen anything saying he wants to leave Boston.

If he wants to leave, then he will. I am speaking only from the Bruins perspective and from what Brad himself has said. I'd be fine in or around $6m x2, or a1 year bonus-laden deal if he wants more than that. But you are right, at the end of the day, he hold the all the cards, because he will get signed somewhere if he wants to keep playing.

Ya....I was thinking around that....5.5 mil next year, perhaps 5 second year as an option.
If he wants to stay, I'm cool with that.
If he wants to win another Cup again, staying here should not be encouraged.

Would Bruins’ Brad Marchand want a trade? ‘I’ve always planned on playing here my entire career’

Marchand still believes in what the Bruins can accomplish: "We haven’t played our best yet. When we do, we can play with any team."

The only way I see him moving is if they don’t come to terms by March 7th even if they don’t I could still see him staying. Bruins Captain,fan favorite,jersey will be in the rafters and HOF worthy.

Sweeney needs to get him signed though if he’s here beyond the 7th because if he walks it will be a huge loss in more ways than one.

I am in all probability, the one with the miscalculations, but supposedly next year's draft is much stronger than this year's so might not hurt to wait a year, Florida does not have a first, second, or third this year. Hey maybe there is someone who will pay more, I hope. The Bruins must make him available, bad business if they don't.

After watching him play for Canada, I'm firmly in the trade him camp.

Then resign him please

Guy should chase another cup somewhere then come back July 1. That's what a true captain would do. (I'm kidding! Well kinda)

Aw...

LEADER

 

[Bruin4]

He's the type of person player who seems to know what needs to be said, and when, and how to say it to make everyone in that room feel a bit more at ease.

Just to add on top of all that he will go out and walk the walk as well

I think Allred was way off in saying Merkulov was called up for a showcase but I hope he's spot on about Marchand!
