[Hockeyholic]

Bogosian, and signed Evander Kane for Brad Marchand & 2nd. Would it work for both teams?

Lock it up..

Atleast add Casey M if you want Boston to not autoreject but atleast think for 1 sek, for taking a capdump and a worse forward.

Why would any team trade for the 2nd dirtiest player in the league?

 

[Starat327]

As a flyer fan, I wish Boston had interest in this.

This is one of those special proposals that makes no sense for either team. Boston loses on value and trades the best player in the deal, meanwhile Buffalo gets no pieces that make sense for where the team is at.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

The Sabres could definitely find use for marchand. This isn't a trade that ever happens.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Wtf is this

 

[WJCJ]

I don't believe that Boston would have the slightest interest in this.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Oh Lordy!

Wtf is this

This is not a serious proposal, OP is well aware of it. Thread made only to stir things up, obviously. Well done, OP, well done.

This Leafs fan seconds this.

No, it's really bad for Boston both in value, contract situation and the fact that the team is on a roll and would be making an unneeded change that is also a downgrade.

You don't breakup arguably the best line in hockey to add a UFA with attitude issues and injury prone D with low hockey iq.

 

[3rdLiner]

Hmmm a top3 winger for a project/headcase, a constantly injured 3-4dman and a 2nd WOW SIGN ME UP.

Edit: Just realized in the OP BOS adds the second HAHAHAHAH.

I've been the most outspoken B's fan there is about Marchand's antics. I hate them. But he is a very good player, and dirty players have been traded throughout history: Linsman got traded, Claude Lemieux got traded, etc.

 

[Yatzhee]

As much as I loathe Marchand, I'd love him on the Sabres. Guy is just a pure competitor.

Why would any team trade for the 2nd dirtiest player in the league?

That's exactly why.

What better is thee than an amazingly skilled forward on a good contract that plays well all over the ice and infuriates you for good measure?

That 2nd player would be great. Like a young Kesler. But Not Cooke with a better wrister.

You seem to be having a problem separating your personal opinion/ethical stance with the question you asked.

You asked why ANY TEAM would give up a 2nd for a dirty player. Maukkis answered you. I'm sure if you really think about it, you'd realize that many teams would gladly trade for Marchand if available.

Now if you personally wouldn't because his style goes against your beliefs, that's fine, but that wasn't the question you asked. Don't project your standards on the actual professionals who are employed to win games. While you say you wouldn't want him on your team, real life GMs would.

This can't be a seriour proposal, Bogosian is worthless.
Marchand>>>>>>> Kane.

This is one of those special proposals that makes no sense for either team. Boston loses on value and trades the best player in the deal, meanwhile Buffalo gets no pieces that make sense for where the team is at.

You could get so much more for Marchand on the market than for these 2.

This Leafs fan seconds this.

This Habs fan thirds this.

I know judging talent "is subjective" but an accountant who proposed this should be better. There is such a thing as salary cap in the league.
Since Bogo makes 5.2m and Marchand makes 6,2m wouldn't the Bruins be 1000 times better off signing UFA Kane, keeping Marchand not having Bogo, and the Bruins are just down 1m.

And let's be subjective, why would any team really want Bogosian?

Gotta love it when the side that gets a massive win in value says it's not really a fit for either team. Of course Buffalo does this, they make out like bandits. Just because the other side says no doesn't mean you have to out of spite
