Seeing tweety bird?

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Marchand is?

That’s crazy fast.

Get them while they're hot.

Im a Hawks fan but I am kind of saddened by this trade. Marchand is a Bruin and I did not want to see him in another jersey ever. Wish he could have played his career out there. Oh well, the days of Ernie Banks and Stan Mikita playing for one team only seem to have went the way of the dinosaur. Ive always like the core of Bruin's forward, sad that Bergeron and Krejci retired.

Good luck in Florida to Mr Marchand.

Crazy, the team he decided to go to was the one that eliminated him from the playoffs twice, one series where he choked.

I thought it was more of just GMs just dealing didn't think much of it. But knowing Marchand, the captain of Boston, specifically requested to be traded to the defending champs that eliminated him from the playoffs in back to back years, that's kinda pathetic.

Come at me with your pitchforks, I don't care

Pleks was washed up before the leafs traded for him. Bozo Bergevin brought him back so he could play his 1000th game in Montreal. Which outside Pleks family and Bozo-Vin, nobody cared.

I had a new found respect for Plekanec after trading for him. Guy was not only such a high IQ player but he gave it his absolute most every single shift. Wasn't the most talented guy on the team, but relentless work ethic.

He wants to win, and had the cache to be able to name his spot.

Babcock barely used him in the pla offs.
Pleks was good but way past his bb date

Good for Boston its time to move on it would have been nice to sign a 1 year extension but anything above that and aav above 3 million would have been crippling. They already have 8 million lindholm putrid contract to deal with. I think Florida wins 2 rounds away and boston banks another 1st round pick which is the gold standard of picks in drafting so they did well there. Will see how this plays out but I think Boston will be fine with the cap savings and can get a solid free agent in summer.
