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

[Patdud]

Absolutely embarrassing return for Boston.

considering the circumstances, how so? they facilitated a trade to his only okayed trade destination for whatever they could get for him (given that he literally might not be able to play until the end of the 1st round.

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.

They offered 3 years at his current salary, which is 6.125 per year.

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
