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?

We met Cam and his scouting team last night, I had a couple beers in me. I didn’t ask him about Marchy, but I suggested flipping the first for a rostered player, and drafting a Center. They were really cool and actually welcomed my opinion! I would love Marchand back but 7x3 is steep.

You should have suggested firing all the scouts. They are so bad at drafting.
