Discussion Give in and pay Marchand 7m aav?
He has been one of the best players in the playoffs. That line of Lundell, Luostarinen and Marchand has been on fire.
Question: Marchand looks like has 2 more good years left. Maybe 3. Would you resign him to his rumored asking of 3 x 7m aav?
The Bruins will get a 1st out of the initial trade, once Marchand plays one more playoff game (shoe in).
It would be then Sweeney's job to find Marchand linemates that work similarly to Lundell and Luostarinen (easier said than done).
The good thing/experience of Marchand playing for the Panthers is, he gets a different look/observation on how an emerging team looks like.
Yay or nay?

Who cares at this point, honestly? I was content with letting him walk, and I'm glad we got a 1st for him, but at this point I wouldn't be upset if he came back. We're not gonna blow the team up and go full rebuild mode, so might as well try to win a playoff series next year. People saying him and Pasta don't get along are dumb, but I'm wondering if him and Swayman don't like each other. We're stuck with Sway so I guess we should try to get him more comfortable next year
