Proposal: Bruins Rumors, Trade and Call up suggestions. PART2

[RussellmaniaKW]

the only incentive to trade Marchand to Vancouver would be to see the Vancouver fans' reactions

Other than that I wouldn't do it and it would take a hell of a lot more than Vrbata to get it done.

Marchand is gonna be just fine and I have a feeling he bounces back in a big way in the playoffs.

 

[PlayMakers]

Man, with the way things are going around here, Marchand should change his name to HeHateMe.

He better bounce back. I think if he doesn't, he'll be gone next year.

I think if Boston really wanted to talk with Vancouver for Marchand...we'd have to look at a potential 2-2 deal.

Marchand and McQuaid for Edler and Kassian.

Not sure if salaries work; but you get the idea.

Still doesn't address our scoring woes...it actually makes it worse haha

Brad Marchand is a proven 25-goal scorer at this point in his career. Zack Kassian is a proven bust at this point in his career.

Absolutely, I am warming up to the idea.

My core consists of Lucic, Rask, Bergeron, and Chara. Outside of that...anyone is fair game to upgrade on, although Dougie is working his way in.

I want Perron, but I don't think EDM has a reason to move him unless the Bruins overpaid. He plays a game similar to Marchand...just on the RW. EDM needs more gritty players like Perron, not less...so, that means it would have to be Marchand for Eberle and I am not in love with that move either. I could see Eberle getting neutralized in the playoffs just like Marchand. The kid has minimal playoff experience going back to his junior days. Yak is an anomally but he is supposedly coming around. Do you take a chance on Yak? It is risky...almost a hail Mary, but it is an intriguing idea.

Yup, Kassian is a ticking time bomb waiting to implode.

I agree...but I was more interested in Edler.

Nah....it's not like that. Just trying to look at things from 30,000 feet as Chia would say. Marchand is a solid 25 goal scorer during the regular season, but is nearly invisible during the playoffs. Some folks, myself included, don't think he is an untouchable core player. Just tossing around the idea...what if Marchand was on the table...what would we get back?

And it is it a sound concept to trade a top 6 LW for a top 6 RW given our lack of a top line RW?

I'm not sure the fit with Perron. Didn't watch much Edmonton last year, but based on his STL time...I would pass.

Stewart and Perron were the two Blues I went to STL thinking I liked and left with a bad taste in my mouth about. A little bit of Berglund too...but not as bad as those two.

Perron is a hard worker, I just dont think the issues that lead to him being undrafted the first time around have changed. Like I said, didnt see much of Edmonton though, so maybe its different now

I think that is the general rule of a trade. Seemingly equal players being exchanged for one another. I think Ebrle for Marchand would be a steal for Chia, so I think Chia wold have to throw something extra for mactavish to bite. I would never do Marchnd for Perron though.

New thread open as this nears the limit.

Closing this one down in a few minutes.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Marchand is a Bruins player... he just is. We need to retain some sort of identity over the next few years and the Marchand + Bergeron combo is a big part of that, along with Rask etc.

Baba Booey!

I am a Perron fan. Watched him in Lewiston quite a bit and aside from the lack of an agitating quality, I think Perron and Marchand are almosty identical value. They have exactly the same pt/per game average over the course of their career. (.60 pts per game). He is a little bit bigger and little bit faster and more cerebral than Marchand. I just think he would be a good fit with Krejci and Lucic. Another all around skilled forward who can shoot, pass and forecheck.
