Transcript

00:00Do you like this trade? Do you think that this is a good move for the Bruins?

00:03Do you think anything happens with Brad Marsh and today? Yeah, I mean, I don't love it

00:07Just cuz like I guess I don't really love the return. I don't I'll be honest. I know nothing about my rot

00:13Who's Nadine off? I know nothing about him. He's pretty strong with the book. Okay

00:19But like if he's just like a prospect that you're hoping might be able to pan out at some point great

00:23We know exactly who Jacob Lauco is

00:25So like that's I just feel like if you were gonna trade Brazzo, you'd get more in a return

00:30That would help towards your future and not just a money dump

00:33But you know, it's a nothing

00:37No, I thought this was interesting because the Athletic

00:40Had an article about what people are hearing from executives around the NHL when it comes to Brad Marsh and

00:46And this quote in particular I saw last night

00:49So I'll just read it the Bruins meanwhile are not just listening on Marsh and the executives noted that the Bruins have made it known

00:55They are serious about trading Marsh and as of Thursday, they had set a high price

01:00They want a first-round pick a roster player in an a-level

01:05Prospect that would be a significant return for what could be a rental a limited one at that

01:10And that's Jenny going. No. No, I agree. He's gone

01:15Why would you keep them but you think because of the they don't have they don't I don't believe that they have the courage to

01:20Trade a guy of my chance caliber. Okay, let's go around the room not about what they will do

01:24Would you trade him? I would trade him. I would I would you would not know chime. Oh, yeah, absolutely

01:30Do you think any team would give that up though?

01:32I think there are playoff teams out there that would give a first-round pick a roster player and an a-level

01:37Prospect I'm our Shan who's at the end of his career and also hurt

01:41Why do you ask for the moon and then you accept something smaller? But his mom on the spot stars

01:46Let me that was my yearbook quote. Let me ask you. Yeah, let me ask you this question Courtney

01:49Can we see all the quotes in your yearbook, I would love to yeah mom find those

01:55Do you think my shans gonna play for another two or three years I think three years max, okay three years max

02:02Which is fine

02:03Depending on what this injury is. They're still not right

02:06But I would just but you still believe he's gonna play for another couple of years

02:10So if you're an organization that is a playoff contender and says, all right

02:16If we could get a guy like Marcia for the next couple of years

02:20He's the missing piece to help us with

02:24Getting players in the dressing room to buy in he's still a good enough player where you know

02:30He can help us win a cup

02:33I think there are organizations out there that would give up a good package

02:38but it has it has to be a perfect scenario because if that's what the Bruins are asking for those three things in return and

02:44Then March and also has a what a team no trade lists. I'm

02:48That sounds right. And so and we have no idea who those teams are

02:52I don't think March and would just go anywhere. No, no, but they're not just gonna trade him anywhere

02:57It's not like they're gonna trade him to a team that that that stinks, you know

03:01Like they're not gonna trade him to like San Jose or something like that. They're gonna look for a team that they know

03:06Would use a veteran and needs that veteran presence and needs a guy like Masha and to get over the hump

03:15And you know, so I don't I don't think that I saw something where I forget what team maybe the maybe it might have been

03:24Like Colorado or something where there was like, yeah some smoke around the Colorado like like Masha and and Sidney Crosby

03:32Yeah, sorry there is

03:34Our our listeners are very very funny

03:36But there's a nine seven eight texter that just came in going back to the Borat conversation Coco de Santo after putting on her PJs

03:42You will never get this

03:48But yeah, no, I don't think Marcia is going anywhere whether it's this injury or not

03:51I don't think that he was ever going even before he got hurt

03:54I also don't think that they're making up this injury to you know, have an easy way out

03:58Thank you, sir, but they could be like maybe

04:02Knowing that like, all right. This is a tough decision for us to make maybe Masha and could play but they're like, you know

04:08Working with the trainers and saying I let's continue to hold them out just so other teams are like, all right

04:14He must be like you said, what's he dealing with and they're not really disclosing it

04:17So at least it kind of takes the pressure off them a little bit

04:21From them having to make a really tough decision on whether or not to trade or keep them and I feel like you know

04:28I in some cases this is not applicable

04:31But if the coach is fired because the team isn't succeeding so not a coach is retiring and saying I'm done

04:37I feel like the captain should change too

04:41Because the the feeling in that room it doesn't mean you have to trade him

04:44but like maybe the reason things haven't changed out for all these coaching changes is that

04:49the DNA of the leadership has remained the same and so you sit here today and

04:55There is no

04:56Excuse for the trade deadline to come and go and for you not to get assets for Brad Marchand

05:02So you think that when Sako became the head coach?

05:04They should have stripped Marchand from the sea with the sea

05:07I mean, I think that in the in-season interim maybe not but at the end of this year like whoever the next coach is

05:13I think should have a different captain. Yeah, I don't really know how I

05:17I I don't like the captain in hockey. I feel like it's

05:22I think it's important. I'm not saying it's not important, but don't they have talent?

05:28Don't they have like when you think of like just McAvoy pasta, you know

05:33We thought that both Lindholm's Elias and Hampus Lindholm

05:38Zidorf like you look and you go swimming like you look and you go. Okay, you would think that the team has decent talent and

05:46They play hard so what is Marchand as a captain not getting them to do

05:54Well, they're just not is it just talent maximizing their potential whatever that is

06:00Captain or is that the

06:02organization

06:03Missing on the talent. Well, Mike Milbury said that it was coaches too

06:07Like you've got to point the finger at the coaches until they've been playing recently

06:10But yeah, are you pointing at the

06:13Your finger at the coaches for not getting putting the players in the right position

06:17So I guess it's you know, I'm not saying anybody specifically to blame

06:21It's saying that the the way in which everything had been organized and and the leadership had been set up

06:27Hasn't worked and so Brad Marchand won a championship, you know, he grew a lot

06:32you know where he was as sort of the the nutjob licking people into a captain on a team that you know was as

06:38Talented as there is in the NHL. I just it's time for him to go. They don't have that long-term extension

06:44This team needs to stop playing musical chairs. Don Sweeney needs to act except that the team is not good enough

06:50I think this is his last deadline if they don't nail this offseason

06:54Yes, and see the way I look at the captain and just from the the world of you know

06:59being in the football world the captains or the the people in that locker room are more like when

07:06Keeping everybody in that locker room in line right and getting people to

07:12basically fall in line when it comes to the system that that's being put in place by the coach and how we want to do

07:19Things here and I and I feel like there's I mean other than the the rich Keith

07:24You know potential report

07:26I don't know if the locker room is really in shambles or the dressing room is really in shambles with the Bruins

07:33So, I mean is it more about it being in shambles is that they're not playing to their potential

07:37Well, I think they've given up now like I think the season's over in their mind

07:41So they're just what we're gonna see the remainder of the season is not an indicator of who these guys actually are

07:46It's just they're giving up. Yeah, but but that's it. You can't say that last night. They didn't give up last night

07:51They played that they played hard

07:53yeah, they played against a good Carolina team and they they lost it on a

07:58Crazy play at the end of the game when you like three plays when you say given up

08:03I feel like you can see that the team is not given this the same effort

08:08I mean, it's given up in that the season's over. Yeah, they're not gonna be doing anything

08:12They're not gonna make the playoffs

08:13No, no, no

08:14But other guys gonna still go out there and give it their all and you know

08:18Look to play spoilers look to say we're still you know, but Joe Sacco's not coming back. You would agree

08:24No, I would agree with that

08:24But I'm just saying 207 texture the DNA change needs to be Sweeney and Neely. I I don't think that's wrong

08:30But they're not gonna I mean, they're the ones executing the trades today. Yeah, right

08:35Well, I know we have to get to they said it but let's hear from Alex from Shrewsbury on the Bruins. Good morning, Alex

08:40Hey, good morning. Hey, you know, I gotta agree with Courtney on this guys

08:43I mean, you're not getting a first round and a a level pick from you know, whatever

08:49But you know considering March and age and the injuries he's been trending with

08:54That's not gonna happen, right? So how about a second round pick?

08:57Maybe this is what they're asking for and they'll settle for a second round to pick

09:05Okay, so but whatever it is, wasn't it better than nothing yeah, it's obviously better than nothing

09:11Cuz if you know, I mean it is better than nothing

09:13But yeah, you might want to throw in maybe a little another prospect with that, but you know

09:18I wouldn't just ask for a draft

09:20Yeah

09:22Yeah, I think you definitely have to get a prospect the thing is this

09:25Thanks Alex, and we talked about this yesterday if my Shan is not dealt by what is it 3 p.m

09:32Or 4 p.m

09:32Whatever the trade deadline is Ken has a countdown clock if he's not dealt by then then that means

09:39There's probably a very good chance that you're resigning

09:43I mean resigning him in the offseason to a two three year deal

09:47Whatever it is and he's coming back and he's part of your retool

09:50Because you would then would not want to lose them in the offseason for nothing

09:55Like I don't think you go in the shower out and saying, you know what you're 43 years old

09:59Chara, you did a great job for us

10:01Hey

10:02If you want to go somewhere else see what you can get they might come back and say to Masha and well

10:07We're not gonna give you a six, you know six million like you're making now

10:10Maybe we give you a three and a half

10:12Over the next couple of years and you come back in your part of this retool
