Value of: Brad Marchand to Montréal!

[Drew311]

As a Hab fan, I don't want a Marchand style player on my team. I know he's learned to score, but to me he's still a piece of trash. The kind of guy the league would be better without.

Not to worry. Bergevin is allergic to players who are capable of putting up more than 60 points a season.

 

[Howie Hodge]

I'm sure Benn, Deslauriers, and a 2'nd will work for Boston. Hell, Boston would probably throw in Bergeron as well.

Another Montreal wants good players thread... Entertaining

 

[Hostile Offer]

It's very confusing to think about Marchand in a Habs jersey. Pretty much the most hated player in the league by the Habs fans but I think we would all fall in love with him if we had him in our team. Conversely, Marchand with the Habs would likely be the last thing Bruins fans want to see.

Did you see the part where Montreal gives the 2018 unprotected 1st + Scherbak? Or that they're taking Chara as well? That's two young prospects the Bruins are acquiring.............................

.... the Bruins are a competing team, and Chats is contributing to that in a top 4 role.

Boston has a pretty good pool of young players and prospects... so...

 

[Starat327]

His nose is bigger than the cap space we have left. **** him.

Username checks out.

"when moving older players, want to acquire younger players with potential. Not trade them for equally aged, similar value, players" is what you wrote. The 2018 1st + Scherbak gives that. That Boston has or hasn't a good prospect pool is irrelevant.

As for Chara, I had read that he wasn't exactly playing as before and thought he was moved to the bottom 2. Replace him for a cap dump then as he's a useful player and makes no sense to trade him.

This doesnt address why a competing team would trade a top4 D - let alone asking their franchise D man to waive hi nct/nmc - whatever it is - when they are competing.

Wherever you read that should not be trusted. Chara plays exactly as he did before minus the power play time. Chara is an excellent top pairing shut down D. Even without the power play time Chara is 29th in the league in average time on ice. He looks great too. It would take a lot to get Chara from Boston.

One can think many silly things, but then one can easily refute them by a) looking at actual games and/or even easier by b) a 20 seconds check at the NHL stats that say that Chara leads the Bruins in TOI and is actually even 29th in the whole NHL for that, at 23:21.
"Bottom 2"

 

[3rdLiner]

I hate this **** ***** so much I wouldn't take him for free.

Then you're dumb.

 

[3rdLiner]

Well when your only other notable forward is Danault I think I can see why he thinks they are stacked.

He meant chicken wings. Chicken Wings + Poutine is probably the best thing Montreal can acquire in the next 5 years.

 

[Shootertooter]

Not for all of King Midas' Silver.

So what you're saying is that there is still a chance!!!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

You traded the only worthy piece for Drouin haha

This thread is dumb. Marchand is a Bruin for life. You have a much shittier version in Gallagher.

 

[BHD]

Let's put this one to bed.
