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

[BigDaddyLurch]

Just two Canadian boys playing hockey, lol

...yeah, we do worse to each other in Beer League games...and then go out and get hammered together...

 

[PaulD]

Yeah man, trading Trent Fredrick is the same as trading Marchand. You got me.

it's a rebuild. 5 players in one week.
Captains that have been traded

Gretzky
Messier
Iginla
Tavares (demoted from captain)
Phenuef
Gilmour
Wendyl
Turgeon
Linden
Muller
Pronger
Chelios

Just to name a few.

Boston retains 50% of Marchands salary. The condition is if he plays 50% of playoff games.

Any condition on how far cats go or just the amount of games marchy plays?

Hey Bruins fans - welcome to Florida!! We love rats and Selke-winning captains as much as you do. Adjust the colour gradiant during the games so our jerseys don't blind you, and adopt us for the next few months while we borrow your Captain! We'll beat Toronto again and it will be fun ride ;-)!

I love Marchy and thank him for years of enjoyment. I can get behind this plan. Love of Marchy far exceeds dislike of Cats.

Love Carlo as well as a really nice kid. He’s f***ed in Toronto though. No support from me.

 

[FinlandPanther]

I meant in a vacuum. But tbh with the panthers current construction especially with Marchand I think they are a better team with Rantanens skill

I can promise you no Panther fan is trading Tkachuk for Rantanen. The mean/aggravating streak Tkachuk has makes up for the minimal difference in skill (if there even is one)

 

[The don godfather]

go cats win 2 rounds and get bounced out . Wink wink. Bruins fan.

 

[TotalHomer]

This is the dumbest take I've read in years, maybe ever. We love Marchand. He obviously gave us a few teams he'd play for. We got what we could from one of them. And I'm OK with that, he was a great Bruins.

How much game does Marchand have left?

 

[Hockeypete49]

Mats Näslund on the other hand...

It's still tough. I could never imagine Bobby Clarke in another jersey.

God it must suck to be a Bruins fan today.

Actually they ripped the bandaid straight the F off finally, had to happen sooner or later and this year was a sellers market. I’m eager to get the rebuild going.

Got lots of goodies for players on the decline what a win for Boston.

Huh ? There wasn’t any retention and it’s IF he plays 25% of the games in the first two rounds it becomes a first round pick.

Marchy also had some say in his destination FWIW

At least that’s what our GM said.

God it must suck to so completely wrong today.

 

[Seras]

Maybe recent Bruins fans, but the long term ones likely see this as a well timed move

The arms race in insane this year, JFC.

I never thought I would see Marchand in another jersey than Boston.

God damn I want to see Panthers - Stars in the finals.

I see that on tsn but are GM didn’t say that in the presser.. hmm weird

Probably neither of them will win. It's a crapshoot Stanley cup playoffs.

 

[BayStBullies]

Probably neither of them will win. It's a crapshoot Stanley cup playoffs.

Crapshoot for half the divisions, sure.

 

[dredeye]

Man Boston just looked at their team and was like, f*** this team haha. Got to feel for pasta right now.

It was desperately needed. Freed up some cap and we moved ufas that weren’t coming back. This team was poorly built with too many of the same kind of forwards and we have zero prospect depth so hopefully this helps with that. Now we have even more cap space to play with for next year

 

[beachcomber]

Toronto is on the outsides looking in here.

Toronto and Edmonton wont be participants for sueRe.
