Don Sweeney’s explanation It was simple. It Bruise and Brad Marchand It was still far from the length of the contract that each side wanted for the Captain of Boston when he approached the free agency.
Sweeney did not think they could overcome this gap and did not want to risk -to lose Marchand for anything when he became a free agent in the summer. So Bruins’ Director -General sought the best agreement he could find and discussed in the Panthers for a second round that becomes a first round selection if Marchand is healthy enough in the playoffs.
Sweeney got enough for Marchand, who is expected to miss at least three more weeks? National media experts did not think about it:
“Everything Marchand achieved in Boston created the idea that moving forward could cause Bruins to receive a significant return.
However, they could only get a conditional selection of the second round that could become a first-round selection. The conditions of trade are that if Marchand plays in more than 25% of the Panthers matches during the first two rounds, the selection becomes a first round of 2028.
And that’s it. There is no other choice. Without perspectives. Only a conditional selection of the second round that could become a selection of the first round if Marchand plays in more than a quarter of the Playoff matches of the Panthers during the first two rounds. “ Degree: C+
Luszczyn Luszyn House: “”It is a non-Brainer for Florida and a serious head scraper for Boston. If you are going to change your captain with a bitter rival at least pay them a little. At least get a first guaranteed. This return is so unfortunate that you ask why Bruins would even agree first. Given the importance of Marchand for the franchise, the Bruins owed their fans to get a real return. That? It is a slap on the face.
For Bruins, it is a sad day that traces a captain of heart and soul. And they made it even more sad to achieve very little in exchange for the mass market of the seller. The key to a trade that bothers everyone? Don’t bother to your own fans. “ Graduate: D.
Sean Gentile: “ At the end of Bruins’ things, they sent a franchise icon to a divisional rival (and Playoff’s opponent potential) and could not clean as much as a first round selection in return. If the temperature of the social networks on the fan base is some kind of barometer, Don Sweeney became a lot of enemies today, and for the end of the conference. In the meantime, the Panthers can thank Sweeney for their missing piece and the rest of us can be grateful for a memorable afternoon.“” Graduate: F
“Bruins have stated that they are beginning to rebuild. 2027 Second Round Selectionwhich could become a first round of 2028. They also retained half of Marchand’s $ 6.13 million lid. This is not much return for someone from Marchand’s stature. “ Graduate: D
