Value of: Marchand to a Cup contender

[BruinLVGA]

Marchand has EARNED the right to retire with the Bruins, just like his pal Bergeron before him.

Would they trade him to Toronto if they dangled Cowan?

Great question. Lol

Cowan got skill. As long as Marchand said Ok, Id be Ok with it and then just resign him in the off season. Win -Win!

Marchand @ 50% retain will cost a lot for a team but I really can see a team like Dallas Colorado and Vegas try to have it. But The cost will be huge.

 

[MoneyManny]

He's the face of the franchise and puts butts in seats. The Bruins won't trade him unless they really get an offer they can't refuse.

love brad but you move him no doubt if he agrees and wants to compete for a cup. its a business and you got to do whats best for the team keeping ufas who can potentially speed up your retool is foolish. again if marchand wants to move you move him. people are delusional about what he will return the guy is an all star hall of famer elite goal scorer captain penaltly killer power play you name it he does it. teams will be lining up to make offers if he wants to move on.

Marchand isn’t returning anything with the prefix ‘elite’ in it

If anything he’s a glorified cap dump at this point, he’s a 60-ish point winger making over $6m and is a UFA rental

Still big mad he lit you up last years PO?

Marchand 50% retained for WSH 25 1st, Hendrix Lapierre, Ethan Bear, Sonny Milano

 

[Jarvi]

Rico got a 1st last year. I think that is about in line with Marchys value.

Both have a lot of experience, Marchy more so. But Rico can play C which is just more valuable than strictly a winger. Marchy is pacing for 61pts, Rico was 57. Rico was a plus player on the Ducks surprisingly, Brad is not. Couple years age difference in Ricos favour too.

I feel like the risk of Brad deciding to re-sign with the Bruins this summer is greater than it was for Rico to go to another team.

Marchand isn't that guy anymore, he's not bringing that kind of return. He's almost 37, had multiple injuries and is clearly declining heavily.

Not even Close.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

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

Trade him and re-sign in offseason. Issue is if he is willing to play along to retire a Bruin and assist the team.

Embarrassing.

 

[CDJ]

Would be a 1st + a good but not elite prospect. Maybe a mid round pick.

He’s still a very good player and brings a ton of qualities good teams value.

Don’t think they move him unless he specifically asks for it

The Oilers need to prioritize defence above all at the TDL, but Marchand on the same line as Draisaitl would be a nightmare for opponents.

The Oilers need to prioritize defence above all at the TDL, but Marchant on the same line as Draisaitl would be a nightmare for opponents.

Todd Marchant retired 14 years ago and is 51. Might slow Draisaitl's line down just a little but sure could fly in his day
