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.

I understand that, but to go to the team that eliminated you in back to back years. One of the years where you can say, Boston choked the series ?

Lots of contenders to go to, could've asked to go to Tampa, Dallas, Colorado, Edmonton, would've fit well with any of them.

Just pathetic to choose the team that beat you 2 years in a row, especially considering you're supposed to be the captain. Weak stuff.

Question for Boston fans: assuming he's healthy, what line do you think Marchand would fit best on? I haven't watched enough Boston games to have a good understanding of his skillset, but as much as people are salivating over a Marchand-Bennett-Tkachuk pure chaos line [don't get me wrong, that would be AWESOME], I'm thinking he might fit better with Barkov and Reinhart.

Hope this isn't rubbing salt into wounds, but I'm getting really excited to see what he brings to the team now that I've got over the initial shock! I was actually pretty impressed by his presser: he was obviously upset to be traded but was really classy about it. And he seems like a great teammate - fantastic energy - and someone who would fit in seemlessly with our guys.

I watched that entire series for obvious reasons....but how did HE CHOKE?

Because Bob made a save to keep the team alive at the end of game 5? The same Bob that carried us to the Final?

If anyone choked.....Ill say that shit stared with Ullmark. Nice pass by him in overtime right to Verhaeghe.


Augh I feel gross defending Marchand but thats just the truth. I'd love to know how we particularly choked lol He had 10 points that series

Yea, should’ve gone to one of the teams that he didn’t feel that he had the best chance to win with.

I agree with you on the lines. Much better fit with Barkov.

Too lazy a bait to earn pitch forks.

Calling it a Marchand choke is laughable.

It should be fairly obvious Marchand has hall of fame in mind. What better way to absolutely guarantee it than another Cup?

Ideally he returns to Boston after the playoffs, otherwise this trade is not ideal, but even if not it is up to Marchand to determine his legacy. Hall of Fame makes sense as his next focus.
