Confirmed Trade: [FLA/BOS] Brad Marchand for cond. 2027/28 1st/2nd round pick

Imagine roles were reversed, Florida lost to Boston twice in a row, then Barkov says he wants to join Boston

Pretty sure your reaction would be a little different.

Now obviously it's a little different situation given Marchand is near the end of his career and Barkovs in his prime. But it's still pathetic, captain of an Original 6 franchise and you want to go play for the team that eliminated you in back to back years and are the defending champs ? lol
I wouldn’t like it, but I’d get it. Says a lot of what he thinks about the team having experienced the other side.
 
Man cant believe the Bruins wouldnt offer more than $3M AAV for 2 years. That cant be right can it ? Thats just over $100000 more than Habs signed a 4C. Like frig.
 
Marchy is almost 38 it's ok for a trade at this stage . Getting a possible 1st round pick for a concussed player is right value.
Don, don't age him another year. He'll be 37 in May :)

Won't be surprised to see Marchy back in Boston July 1. Let both sides cool off a bit, see where the Bruins end up and what the cap is going up to. B's have a few guys who need new deals, specifically Geekie and Joker. After you lock them up, you can revive talks with Marchy.

He’s still saying “we” when asked a question about the Broons

I'm in but no long term and high aav we already have a problem with elias deal.
 
Bruins did what they had to do and got a pick. His expected salary for that term would have been an anchor given his age, injuries and mileage. It was time to make big changes and it was never going to easy. They got younger, faster and have a lot of cap to spend next year.
 
Eh. I wouldn’t give it much thought. Once he suits up and plays, goes through all the motions with his new team, I assume his attitude will have shifted and he will be all in with Florida.

We don't have the room for him though if we also want to re-sign Bennett and Ek. And according to Friedman, things are looking good on the re-signing Bennett front. Unless he just accepts a real low-ball deal like around 3M .

I don’t expect Marchand to re-up with Florida, maybe you assumed that’s what I meant?

I was just quoting somebody commenting on how he was still speaking to media as if he were still on the Bruins, and giving my opinion that once he’s actually involved with the Panthers he will show it more
