Speculation: Marchand to Edmonton

[TFHockey]

Alan Mitchell (Lowetide) of the Athletic wrote it is possible that Boston and Edmonton could be trading partners, and one name that won't go away is Brad Marchand. He cautioned Oiler to fans to take that with a grain of salt, but still.

Hard to imagine the Oilers managing to pull that off.

With what money? Maybe Marchand and Carlo for Bouchard and someone

Is it really a rumor if some random guy just throws a name out there? And says to take it with a grain of salt, no less...

Marchand is a rental, money really wouldn't be an issue. Retention, retention with multiple teams, and/or Boston takes a contract back.

Skinner and pick or two for Marchand half retained easy peasy

Money would be a massive issue because even at 50% he’s over 3 mil and Edmonton simply doesn’t have the pieces to get Brad and get someone to take half his salary. Team already has depth issue so not sure who they can afford to remove from the active roster as a contract.

Oh man. Edm must be drooling and the rest of the west crying.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Good lord would Edmonton be hateable.

 

[jetsforever]

Would be crazy to see March leave Boston

 

[Three On Zero]

Make it happen, Edmonton!

 

[Cheapshot]

Can’t see Boston doing that only being 1 point out of a wild card spot. But that sure would be interesting.

 

[CanMerc]

..and I thought I couldn’t hate EDM more

 

[Mr Positive]

Where is the rumor part of it? It seems like he's just suggesting it as a move he'd like to see

 

[Captain Controversy]

Marchand, perry and Kane in the playoffs. Lol holy fack

[RiverbottomChuck]

I don't see Edmonton having the type of player or pick that couldn't be beat by another team easily in terms of an offer.

 

[Czechboy]

Boston still fighting for a playoff spot.. what are we sending back to make this worthwhile?

 

[krutovsdonut]

they need to get sean avery out of retirement.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Marchand and Perry together.

Alberta would be hard pressed to say they’re “rat free” if that ever took place.

 

[thrillhous]

Make it happen, Edmonton!

He’s already drank the tears of Canucks fans, so what would be the point - some joys last a lifetime.

 

[LTIR]

Oh man. Edm must be drooling and the rest of the west crying.

He is pretty much the version of Lucic Edmonton got at this point of his career..
Not sure about drooling but would certainly be interesting.

He has 42 points in 53 games, is still effective defensively, and is still a pitbull when it comes to hunting the puck and winning battles. Is he the star he once was? No, not at all but him right now would probably rival Lucic's best career years.

that was quite an awful comparison. This would be a great add for the oilers. Hateable yes but exactly what they need

I clicked like but I he's far from a priority for me...

2RD

a goalie to push Stu













Marchand or any forward really.

I'm legit happy with Kane in bottom 4, Ryan alternating and maybe even calling up Savoie and giving him a look. Forwards are not an Oilers issue. Not saying they are perfect forwards but 2RD and another goalie are so much higher for me personally.

Can’t see Boston doing that only being 1 point out of a wild card spot. But that sure would be interesting.

Owner is getting up there in years, if they’re in the mix I doubt they trade Marchand for picks that might start making an impact around 2030
