Brad Marchand is the heart and soul of the Boston Bruins. He truly represents the team’s tough-to-play-against style with a bit of an edge.

He’s normally the type of player who should finish his career in Boston, but circumstances are such that he could be traded. The Bruins are quietly falling out of the playoff race and the team could capitalize on their captain’s value.

According to Chris Johnston, of TSN, there’s a general feeling in the league that Marchand will be traded to a team in the West. He also reports that despite talks of a new contract, everything indicates that Boston is leaning towards a trade.

There’s no doubt that the Colorado Avalanche comes to mind when speculating about a team that could acquire Marchand. The window is wide open for the team to go far in the playoffs and it’s clear that adding Marchand could help.

If this comes to fruition, it will be a step towards rebuilding in Boston. The team isn’t competing like they used to and even though they managed to beat the Maple Leafs in the first round last year, it stopped there.

There’s been a lack of talent since David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron left, and Pastrnak and Marchand can’t be the only ones scoring goals.

We’ll see what the Bruins do, but the decision to trade Marchand could have a huge domino effect on the team’s next few years.


In a hurry

– A whole cup of coffee.

– The details are not simple in the Oilers’ transaction for Walman.

– Not a big defense.

– To watch tonight.
