The fact that Fluto wrote a piece about this situation suggests that the Bruins might be floating it out there.
Many fans have discussed this, as we're likely barely to make the playoffs and we really need to stock the prospect/pick cupboard.

If the Bruins and Marchand agree to move on, it like won't come cheap...

Yes it will lol.

No it won't. Seriously,

17g 37p, lots of experience. Still an agitator. Lots of teams will be making the call so there will be plenty of offers to work with. He's getting a pretty hefty return if he's on the market (though I'm skeptical he will be).

In any case, no matter what your definition of "cheap" is, he won't be.
 
Even after the Rantanen trade, I still feel Marchy would be a massive all-in move. Still remove. Need to retain less.

What’s a hefty return? Lol

A 1st round pick in the 20s and a b level prospect? Sure.

Multiple 1sts and a good prospect is an expensive return, zero chance any team does that. (Ok, maybe Tampa)

Lol no it wouldnt be. 1st and a prospect.

I guess it depends how you define cheap.

They aren’t getting a kings ransom for a guy who will be 37 in May on an expiring deal.



Makes a ton of sense. Dallas too.
I seen more washed up then him get alot .He will score 20 + on a bad Bruins team.Put him on a stronger team & he has a good run left in him don't kid yourself.Its about winning the Cup remember 😉
 
Rs would NOT be looking to extend March.
So given that and w/Yankees trading Ar. Chapman to Cubs for Gleyber Torres and getting Chap back quickly post season,

March + Zadorov
for
Zib + Lindgren

Zib was beyond disgusting like 6 wks but has played much better like usual self since Christmas

deal is not sexy as other returns, but

gives Bs
established pivot at a time C depth is horrid and league wide supply scarce
helps structural cap reorganization in moving zad
BOS easy peasy welcomes back March as a ufa

Rs
start to move on from vets
will have to see what zad brings as he is 5per long term
but do effectively rent March this season w/likely jtm add

this obv assumes everyone w/clause waives
Zib unclear but thought is he is open to an east coast team
 
The only way I see Marchand going anywhere is if we fall out of the race. Zero chance we move him while sitting 3rd in our division. They also only move him if they ask him if he wants to chase another cup this year. They can always re-sign him in the off season. He seems like a lifer though

Maybe he wants a surer way to get a chance at the cup, wouldn't be the first long-timer to ask something like that.

And I say 'surer', cause the Bruins are 4th in the division, with the most games played out of the contending teams, Ottawa and Montreal have 2 games in hand and just 2pts behind, while Tampa, who's only 1pts ahead, have 3 games in hand. Detroit have some kind of resurgence lately, too.

Division is a clusterf***, any team can come on top, even Toronto and Florida ain't that far ahead, but trailing teams can get ahead of Boston pretty easily.
