Wow. I will be heartbroken if you prove to be correct. I figured him for a Lifer.

What makes you say this? Just curious.
Is there anger from the management? Locker room? Coach?

He has a NMC and you'd be hard pressed to get better overall value on a non-ELC contract than Marchand's deal. Why would he accept a deal out of town at this juncture?

Wow that’s quite a prediction,Hey anything is possible,If Gretzky could be traded Marchand definitely could too.

I'll take that bet. No chance they trade him.
Spectacular player. One of the best defensive forwards in the league. One of the best offensive forwards in the league. Led the playoffs in scoring.
McGarnagle
Yes.

He's a hundred point scorer with quite possibly the friendliest contract in the entire league.
Unless we're getting a massive haul and he has Prongeresque demands to be traded, I don't see it.

Hall might be the one semi-realistic target I'd even entertain the idea of trading Marchand for.
Even then, I don't like it.

Well, the Bruins traded Joe, so.......... it's certainly possible. I hope this doesn't happen, but reading this from @Fenway who I trust, makes me think it's a possibility. I hate the thoughts of it.

I do not trade Marchand unless someone overpays. No Seguin trade level garbage return
24 hours ago things were very emotional and there was anger over the botched line change that resulted in the CUP winning goal.
The draft is only a week away - and the B's are picking 30th. Is there anybody they really want to move up for?
I can not stress enough the elephant in the room - Charlie wants his father to win the Cup at least one more time.

hope you know I respect the hell out of you fenway, but on this issue im going to hope you are completely out to lunch
that said... im going to say ive watched marchand play the last 3 years... watched him put up 270 regular season points in 227 games {holy crap}
watched him put up another 44 points in 42 playoff games {choker???}
and im just going to say hes been one of the top 5 players in the game during that time blending above average defense and the best pest infestation in the league as a true 5 tool player
if we do trade him it better be for a wayne gretzky/eric Lindros return because this guy is mr franchise for us

love that line... if gretzky can be traded anyone can
lets remember that peter puck was in all sorts of economic trouble that saw him eventually end up bankrupt and in jail just a few years later. gretzky was sold by a convicted crook who would then continue to sell off other oiler players as he could no longer afford to keep them
in those days nhl teams appreciated and made money long term for owners... but operated at a loss more often then not as far as season-to-season cash flow is available and puck had a lot of problems with meat packing plan strikes... milk company shutdowns... and other very shady business practices
the next time gretzky was traded was as a rental when bruce mcnall was about to go down for his criminal activities {or maybe he already had} and gretzky was not going to resign with that gong show. so st louis rented him.
gretzky was never traded in a normal hockey trade... gordie howe wasnt... Mario Lemieux wasnt... Maurice Richard… bobby hull... bobby orr… Sydney Crosby... guy lafleur… nicklas lidstrong… ray bourque {that was a rental after he said he wasnt resigning}
you just dont trade all time greats... alexander oveckin… connor McDavid...
the exception is when the owner is a crook... or the player is a jerk that demands a trade
{and yes I challange people to provide names to argue against me... make your best case... lets see what names you want to come up with }
peter Forsberg... paul kariya… joe sakic… steve yzerman…
pretty much anyone that is argued one of the top 3-4 players of his time... no trades...
stan mikita… eddi shore... milt Schmidt... mike bossey… and obviously terry oreilly

I WANT to be completely wrong but the Bruins have a track record on stuff like this.
The Jacobs box at TD last night was not a happy place

Whatever ,the point is anyone can be traded was my point, if the return is good enough,I’m not saying they should trade him ,but would never say they wouldn’t.love that line... if gretzky can be traded anyone can

we will agree no team moves to its own drum beat stronger than our guys... and marchand has been in hot water before. I do feel he has embarrassed stuff shirt Jacobs on more than one occasion.
it would still be team suicide to trade him... bergerons point production is minimum 25% less when marchand isnt on the line... same goes for pastrnak... same goes for krejci... and of course same goes for Heinen and riley nash
anyone that has played with marchand these past 3 years has been nitro charged by the little rat. has he had a 5-10 game stretch of struggles here or there? I think I remember 3 suck struggles. I have a theory that hes wound pretty damn tight. I do think its possible he corks or uncorks sometimes in his personal life and maybe it effects his game. I admit, im not blind... ive seen him go off the rails
but this is akin to throwing the baby out with the bathwater if they trade him. maybe the water got a bit cold during the last 2 streaks... we dont even get near a sniff of these finals if he isnt doing his thing earlier in the playoffs for us. we dont beat Toronto without him owning them in a couple of those games.
maybe we need someone else that can step up when marchand does struggle.... I thin pastrnak had a hand... not sure what Bergeron had... debrusk is young so I cut him slack and krejci didnt have much for linemates… so ok... none of them lit it up in the finals... but maybe its because none of them can light it up without a healthy marchand too.
mvp candidate... I say look what happens to us the second he struggles... hes clear cup my hart player over the past 2 years
unlike McDavid or hall... marchand actually evalvates the people he plays with to superstar status
{still cant believe what he did for riley nash}
