Brad Marchand’s number is certainly retired.

15 years and a championship.

But he left for the rival, and he had his choice.

Imagine a wild world where the Bruins just scoot in to the playoffs only to have their Cup hopes dashed by the Panthers for the 3rd year in a row - only this time with Marchand?

Then he resigns, only to go on an Iguodala, 3 Rings, and 1 Smythe in last 5 years run, good for a certain HOF spot and his Panther Number 63 Retired?

How much do we like our Boston Players to leave for the enemy?

If we do it to Ray Allen, Johnny Damon, and Roger Clemens, we do it to Brad Marchand.

The ultimate rat.

6 million was too low for him. He knows we have a salary cap to manage. It's either him or Don, and Don has come out well in this. Brad's trying to cover his greed with kind words to management in the media. He wouldn't want to upset to Boston faithful.
