sheesh his 3rd concussion already.Hockey Widow wrote:Ekblad done after suffering a concussion. Second of his career. Is returning to Florida to be re-evaluated.
@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.

Marchand inks 6-year extension.
That's a lot of coin/term to hang on to a 5'9 guy who's universally hated until he's 36.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.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
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.Blob Mckenzie wrote:Decent contract for the player and the team. Marchand should remain productive through most of the deal.
Good on Boston.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
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.Tciso wrote:Pretty scary length.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
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.Blob Mckenzie wrote:For some reason I thought it was a six year deal.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
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...Tciso wrote: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.

I think Bergeron may have a slight leg up over Marchand there, mick.micky107 wrote: 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...
Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
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..BladesofSteel wrote:I think Bergeron may have a slight leg up over Marchand there, mick.micky107 wrote: Well, Chara may retire sooner than later and some may laugh at me but I can see Marchant being named next Captain.
