Breaking Down Brad Marchand’s Next Contract
Brad Marchand is the captain of the Boston Bruins, but his contract expires at the end of next season. I explore the history of players who signed new contracts after age 35 with the Boston Bruins and give my thoughts on what I think his next deal will look like.
Spoiler alert: I think Brad Marchand should be a Boston Bruins for life, but at what cost?
Thank you so much for licking on my Boston Bruins video, and I hope you enjoy it.

Marchy IS what a Boston Bruin mentality needs to be . If we have a decent season . Sign by him to a 2-3 yr deal and let him do what he does best .
What they offered Chara was insulting. They offered him a slot as a 7-8th dman. This was after the previous year him playing 2nd or 3rd most ATOI. All he wanted was to be an every day nhl. He didn't mind being bottom pairing minutes. He just wanted to play. And he was an everyday player the next year. Had himself a decent season and was also good in the playoffs. The Krug situation seems like it played out the same as the DeBrusk situation. The team offered him a take it or leave it deal. In Krug's case it was before the season even began. They didn't take those deals and kept trying to negotiate. But the Bruins stuck to their guns. It was take it or leave it and it was left. So those guys all parted ways. I get why they did it. But those sorts of ugly transactions can have lasting ramifications. For example Krug's agent is the same guy who reps Swayman. It's entirely possible part of the constant issues in signing Swayman for Boston could be that agent taking hardline stances. Him making taking it or leave it offers and not negotiating.
they have to keep Marchy at all costs!he probably has 3 more years at the most.the need to start drafting top scoring wingers and get rid of sweeney who has traded away so many high draft picks.a new GM is desperately needed as they don't know a thing about talent or taking the best players.most like only all defensemen.still listening to harry sinden's bs that defense is most important.
"in Marchand years" lol
