Marchand to A Cup Contender

[Sevendust]

Assuming the Bruins are well outside of the playoff picture at the trade deadline and Marchand would be willing to go to a contender, what would your team offer for him? Bruins targets are elite potential prospects and young players with elite potential who are already playing in the NHL.

 

[MisterT]

Bruins are not receiving elite potential prospects and young players. Think along the lines of what other aging UFAs bring: 1st and B prospect.

 

[McGarnagle]

I don't think 2025 Marchand returns an elite prospect. Maybe a first rounder and/or good to decent prospects

 

[Rowlet]

Send him to Vancouver for the content.

He's ironically the exact guy they need. Leadership, has been through the playoffs a lot, knows what it takes to win, and lose.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Unfortunately this come 12 Month too late as for the elite value return.

 

[Golden_Jet]

No-one is giving an elite potential player at the TDL for a soon to be 37 year old UFA.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

I want Washington to trade for him. Put him on a line with PLD and Tom Wilson to make the most hated forward line in HF history.

Jokes aside, Washington is a team that would probably be in on him.

 

[PlayMakers]

Bruins are not trading Marchand.

A guy who's having an off year pacing for 30/35 and a proven playoff performer? He'd get more than you think.

Depending on his play on the Four Nations tournament, he could be the most coveted and best player available at the trade deadline. If there is a bidding I can absolutely see a team willing to give up a elite prospect for Marchand.

What would trade for him?

 

[Theo Von]

Bruins are not trading Marchand.

for mcdavid, yeah they would

 

[ElPrimeTime]

With his modified NTC, the return would probably similar to the Patrick Kane return when he went to New York.

 

[General Fanager]

Bruins are not trading Marchand.

Probably not, but they should.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Would they trade him to Toronto if they dangled Cowan?

 

[Thechozen1]

Would they trade him to Toronto if they dangled Cowan?

NEVER

 

[wintersej]

Probably not, but they should.

They should probably trade Pasta then, too. He is turning 29 this season. By the time anyone from a Marchand trade is able to contribute, Pasta will be out of the years where you could arguably say he could be the best player on a Cup winning team.

The Bruins should be trying to compete for the next 2-3 years. They have a roster full of 28-30 year olds on long term deals. They can't rebuild right now. In a few more years when all there guys at the end of their prime start getting to the wrong side of it, yeah, its going to be some tough times in Boston.

No need to accelerate that. They need some scoring talent. But needing a couple pieces doesn't mean you should blow it up and now need all the pieces.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

What would trade for him?

I could see Washington parting with their first if they really want to go all-in for another shot with Ovi. Or maybe we give you back the 2nd we got as part of the Hathaway/Orlov trade + another pick/B-level prospect.

 

[BLONG7]

i would think..........if he wants to go to a team to make a run, they would comply.
I just don't think he will want to go.......

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

He’s not going anywhere. He’ll retire a Bruin.

 

[Cancuks]

He'll get dealt to Vegas and the return won't be very good.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Would they trade him to Toronto if they dangled Cowan?

Who?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Who?

Their top prospect

 

[SensFactor]

I think there will be a ton of teams lined up for his services. He's still valuable to playoff teams around the league. I would love to have him in Ottawa if we can get into the playoffs, even if its short term.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

You guy need to give your heads shake if you the Brad would not return more than a good first ,lol

Teams will be lining up and beating eachother to death for his services.

If he asks out for another cup chance sure, Just done see it happening

 

[I am Canadian]

I don't see the Bruins commiting to a rebuild therefore I think he stays and tries to win again in Boston
