Their defense still isn't that great, they'd probably like to have Edler & Miller in a bigger deal, but they just lost their biggest trade chip in Nichushkin.

Or...we acknowledge now that we dont have a hope in hell this year and buy Nuke for cheap...maybe Miller and...i dunno...a second?

sheesh his 3rd concussion already.

@TSNSteveLloyd

Can't blame Ekblad & the Panthers for being cautious. If it is determined to be a concussion, it's his 3rd since August 2014.

Worse than I thought

.......... a drum roll please............

at least its not his shoulder

Don't jinx him. Gudbranson had 2 concussions in 3 months last season.

Marchand inks 6-year extension.

Brad Marchand has signed an eight-year, $49 million contract extension with the Boston Bruins.

The deal holds an average annual value of $6.125 million and keeps the winger with the Bruins through the 2024-2025 season. Marchand also has a full no-movement clause for the first five years and a modified no-trade clause the rest of the way, according to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie.

That's a lot of coin/term to hang on to a 5'9 guy who's universally hated until he's 36.

Decent contract for the player and the team. Marchand should remain productive through most of the deal.

The money and term don't surprise me but the full NMC does a little.

Pretty scary length. Given how he plays,i expect a Burrows style drop in production starting at 30.

Good on Boston.

For some reason I thought it was a six year deal. Probably two years too long but that's what keeps the cap hit down I guess. Burrows took a dive at 33, so Marchand had five years to get to that age. Boston should have maybe done six years at 7 million. Not sure if Marchand bites on that though.

It is too long. 8 years, but as an extension to this year, it is basically 9 years total. He'll be turning 37 when it expires. He might be like LMRB in longevity, but I don't think so.

Well, Chara may retire sooner than later and some may laugh at me but I can see Marchant being named next Captain. Go ahead, tell me I'm nuts...

Your nucking futs!!

I think Bergeron may have a slight leg up over Marchand there, mick.

It's gotta be Bergeron, but Marchand has shown a lot of professionalism with Team Canada over the past few weeks. He has been well-spoken in interviews and disciplined on the ice while playing at a very high level. If he keeps behaving like that, he's going to have a lot of converts. However... it's also possible that he's just clever enough to know exactly how to compete in every situation: put him back in a Stanley Cup final and he might revert to classless-moron.

And rightfully so, but does he want it and hard to believe but he's 31 already..
