There will be plenty of teams looking to trade down after MccDavid, Eichel and Marner are picked. That's where Sweeney needs to package Marchand and our 1st.

You don't trade Marchand for an unproven asset. He has warts, and if you could package him for a guy like ror I would love it. However if they trade him for a pick, I would be livid.
It is a done deal.
Not officially signed yet because as Mark Divver reported on twitter (I believe it was Mark) he stands to earn more money by signing on the day he becomes a UFA.
If he signs now his max would be
$900,000 + $90,000 signing bonus + $60,000 AHL salary
On July 1 his max would be (or whatever day he becomes UFA)
$925,000 + $92,500 signing bonus + $70,000 AHL salary.

Fans clamoring for more speed, physicality, scoring, grit!
How do we bring guys like this here to Boston?
I know, let's deal Marchand, the one guy on the team right now that can do all of those things for a draft pick!
Yeah, let's do that...
Either way it would create a big hole on the left side. For me, if we're going to trade someone it Krejci. And I'm not a Marchand fan.

Diving midget who hasn't scored a goal in his last 20 playoff games and takes stupid penalties. Clearly we need more of that.
Honestly once Hanifin is off the board, I really don't believe the talent is there to justify a major trade up deal. I like some guys listed in the top 10, but I am not convinced they are going to end up being that much better than the guys who will be there at 14
And I consider a major trade up deal something that involves giving up a core player (and Marchand is certainly a core guy)

Absolutley!
Trading Marchand would be a mistake I think.
We need to publicly make Looch available and field offers.
We need some cap space.
I would also field offers for potential all star Subban.

If either Marchand (very unlikely) or Lucic (quite possibly) is dealt to get an extra pick/move up in the draft, then that still leaves one of them plus Eriksson and Smith on the left. Boston has no shortage of left-shooting LWers.
Sorry, but , IMO, Eriksson or Smith don't bring the things that Lucic does. Both are soft, if you can call any hockey player "soft", players and just don't bring the things Lucic does. Especially Smith. I like them both and both are/will be good players but Lucic bring an unmeasurable element.

Craig Button's final list has Konecny at 33
He's big on Meier though, has him at 8

Button is way over the top. I mean, Zacha at 24? Rantanen at 16? Hanafin at 12? One man's opinion, I know, but this is a radical departure from the consensus.
I'm sure Bradley would do cartwheels if Rantanen or Zacha were available at 14.
I swear he just does it for the attention
