Confirmed with Link: [FLA/BOS] Brad Marchand for conditional 2nd round pick

[I am not exposed]

It deserves its own thread. Never thought I would see the day.

I heard some rumors last year that he was interested in Florida.
Although I don't like the player very much, he is hard to play against and this trade is better than acquiring rentals like Giroux and Chiarot because back then the team wasn't ready to win.

Certified Boston hater and sicko checking in.

I don't hate it, given that Tkachuk's injury is obviously serious.

I was sweating like a pig waiting for the return but for naught, Bill Zito my master in cap hell is such a god damn wizard I don't know what sort of occult rites he's been doing but he has everyone on a mental leash

We knew that when they put him on LTIR. He hasn't undergone surgery, meaning it's not a Grade 3 strain (complete tear). The most likely event is a Grade 2 which is nominally a 4-8 week recovery. 8 weeks from Feb 15 when he injured it is April 12. A week to get back to game shape afterwards? April 19. Just in time for Game 83. The timing on this if it had to happen almost couldn't have been better

How is that it?

I was terrified of it being Mackie and a 1st. I know he’s hurt right now but the way the market has been….for a conditional second that’s still a good deal no?

This is worded wrong

It's a conditional 2nd

2027 2nd is the trade if conditions are not met. Should it be met, it turns into 2028 First.


We arent allowed to trade our 2028 first outright

Zito is the best GM in the league. Assume Marchand doesn't play for a while.

Amended.

I just took the title from the main boards originally.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Still waiting on the condition I guess. Maybe becomes a 1st if he re-signs.

re-signing isn't allowed to be a condition anymore. They removed after the SJ OTT Karlsson trade

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

condition is probably going to depend on how we do in the playoffs

 

[Felidae]

Marchand finally has a rat family.

 

[floridada]

I really hope Tkachuk is healthy by the playoffs. It would be an absolute travesty to not see this line in the playoffs.

[IdleTraveller]

Just got home to THIS!! Is Zito trolling the whole league??!!! I mean, of all the players... I don't even know if I love it or hate it...

Actually, f*** it. I LOVE IT. Don't even care if/how it helps our team - the sheer f***ing entertainment value is COMPLETELY worth it. Bring on the rats, baby...

 

[Gentle Man]
