Now, please don't think I am standing up for the interloper but I'm not sure I agree with this. He signed coming off a 37 goal season. It was absolutely looked at as a discount at the time, just not the massive one it's proven to be since.

You are right tho, that he truly broke out after signing. It's really a stupid proposition to say he was mad at his agent. "Hey I started being a PPG+ player after signing my deal. I really need to fire this guy for not seeing it coming"
This was really the point of replying to that poster.

I know this won't happen but I'd love to bask in the glory of the Bs steamrolling every team to the Stanley Cup.

You don't think Marchand is underpaid by about 3.5M? He took a huge hometown discount....others now have not.

Did he really take a hometown discount? Marchand signed in Sept of 2016. The 3 years prior he had the following numbers:

So the 3yrs prior he averaged out to a fringe 30/30 guy. Back when he signed what was the going rate for a 30/30 winger?

This is close to McDavid pay rate.

Now if he can only enter the offensive zone and not look like a ragdoll being pushed off the puck it will all be worth it.

No, he didn't take any discount. This narrative needs to end.

Marchand didn't break out until after he signed his current deal. He signed this deal in September 2016.

At that point he was a 25 goal 50 point PK specialist who's best season was 37-24-61. He signed for exactly his market value.
I generally agree, although he signed it towards the end of the World Cup where he showed he has potential to be more than just that. So it was already a bit of a steal at that point, only to become a huge steal in hindsight.

He could be Captain after Bergeron retires. I think it’s him or McAvoy. They are the future of this team and both are locked up.
