Confirmed Trade: [FLA/BOS] Brad Marchand for conditional 1st round pick (2027 2nd → 2028 1st)

[Pablo El Perro]

I joked about a Chucky-Bennet-Marchand yesterday, but I guess Boston wanted less value than anyone thought.

 

[Ratsreign]

Marchand - Bennett- Thachuk

oh boy !

 

[Score08]

Bruins get a conditional 2nd rounder for a guy that might not have played another game for the bruins this season, and no guarantee he’d sign or even play hockey again the end of the year. All things being equal, this is better than losing him for absolutely nothing.

 

[93gilmour93]

I don't see it. I don't feel Brad double crossed/screwed over the Bruins here. They were never going to get much for him with the injury (on top of his age/UFA status).

I don't really care. Hope he wins in Florida, and retires a Bruin.

I dont think it's meant to be taken seriously

 

[Coach Parker]

There still aren't any facts on this as to the return?

 

[VaporTrail]

It's a conditional 2nd....not a conditional first.


It's a 2027 2nd that could turn into a 2028 first.


dont inflate the price lol

What's the condition ?? Can't find the details on the trade in this thread...They need to start listing the post # of where the trade is actually confirmed.

from what I gather

We are not allowed to trade our 2028 First outright. So the work around that is that it is a conditional 2027 2nd, which can turn into a 2028 first.

I bet it's gonna be playoff related. Like X games or maybe if they win the cup

 

[Ratsreign]

So the 'ruins handed Marchand to a hated division rival for nothing.

Great job...

Bs will do anything to screw the Leafs

 

[Glorydays22]

wow...just a conditional 2nd?? I would have thought just a little bit more. Where was Colorado with this?

I get that...but that's what I was asking...what's the # of gp, or how far do they have to advance in the playoffs ? Lol

Marchand probably called his shot, maybe from a few options. He was injured and the Bruins probably would have just let him sit out the year if he was extended.

He's owed that much for an all time Bruin and I'm fine with getting less than what he's worth, especially injured.

Still in queue so nothing firm.

I am guessing if they win the cup. Maybe we sent a prospect for some retainage.

 

[PAZ]

There was a period where I was happy that Florida finally turned the corner.

But i'm a bit tired of them having competent management since they get all the good NMC/NTC UFAs for a steal.

 

[Tupu]

Florida is the powerhouse making rules naow. Only condition is palm trees, alligators and maybe florida man.

 

[mjhfb]

I just hope he gets healthy and back to playoff form. One last great playoff run and he should be a lock for HOF.

 

[Divine]

I don't get why trade him for a 2nd round pick when he doesn't want to go.

The odds the return ever plays for them is low.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Injury problems? He's played in 91% of the possible games the last 3 years and before getting hurt a few games ago, he was on pace for a full 82 games.

Surgeries for hip labrum repair, 2 hernias repaired and a torn elbow tendon in the last 2 years

 

[Strangle]

Was pretty terrible in 4 nations, i am not loving this but Florida needed one winger imo. Well, depends on the price

Marchand had a short high peak but he’s a 36yo 65pt winger

 

[PaulD]

Buyouts.

Marchand can, and ideally will, re-sign in the summer with the Bruins.

For sure . And
He gets to eliminate the Leafs for the fifth straight time..

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I'll be pulling for the Panthers now. Good luck Marchand!

PS. Panthers have to print Rat t-shirts with Brad on the front.

 

[dredeye]

This can’t be the return

 

[amikaro]

and it happened ...

 

[PaulD]

Marchand had a short high peak but he’s a 36yo 65pt winger

Won Stanley Cup in 2011 scoring 5 goals in the final series alone.
Played phenomenal for over a decade after that.
Made Team Canada in his 15th season.
Short peak ? Haha!

 

[The don godfather]

Still cant understand did the bruins secure a 1st round pick? Is it a tough condition?

 

[Strangle]

Won Stanley Cup in 2011 scoring 5 goals in the final.
Played phenomenal for over a decade after that.
Made Team Canada in his 15th season.
Short peak ? Haha!

And he scored 40pts during the regular season in 2011

And when he actually peaked the bruins couldn’t win. Spent 5 minutes as the captain and the team immediately crashes and burns and is now rebuilding and he’s traded.

The Bruins had phenomenal goaltending, chara and Bergeron for over a decade.
