Speculation: Marchand in UFA

Shouldn’t get whatever he signs for as his best days are rapidly fading in the rear view mirror.
 
Problem is he is now in the 35+ contract situation, where if any team signs him, and he decides to retire they still get tagged with the cap hit. So I don't see any team giving him more than 2 years, likely he will be on a year to year deal until he retires.
 
Check back in a few weeks. I think his performance in the playoffs is going to have a big impact on how much teams are willing to throw at him. If he looks slow and ineffective and Florida doesn't make it past Tampa, he's going to wish he took the deal Boston offered him. If he looks like his old self, I could see someone giving him something close to Stamkos last offseason (probably for a year or two less).
 
I think the rumor was that he turned down a similar AAV to what he makes now from Boston. I think he’ll want something over 7. Someone will throw stupid money at him.
 
If he turned down a comparable AAV from Boston to what he has now, then its obvious hes going to chase the bag this summer, cup chances be damned.

To me that'll be any of SJ, ANA, CHI, NYR... or for the most hilarious choices, MTL or VAN

Vancouver would be a crazy choice similar to John Cena turning heel and winning his 17th. Going totally against the grain. It would piss a lot of Bruins fans.
