00:00The Brad Marchand is set for free agency on Tuesday, tomorrow, unless the Panthers sign him.
00:08The Athletic has an article out now saying that the Boston Bruins are very interested in re-signing Brad Marchand if the Panthers don't do so.
00:19They are interested, as are the Toronto Maple Leafs.
00:23Please, Bruins, re-sign Brad Marchand. Bring him home. Let him retire here. He got his Stanley Cup elsewhere. Bring him back.
00:33I want him back in this dressing room. I want him in the new B's sweater.
00:40The loyalty to winning an argument, I actually respect, Courtney.
00:44I want him back. Bring the boy home. His family loves it in Boston.
00:49It seems like they've had a great little stint in Florida, but they belong here.
00:53It seems like they love it in Florida, I would argue.
00:57It seems like he has a chance to win another one.
00:59Right.
01:00Is an odds-on favorite if he stays there.
01:03And it seems like, you hear their GM, he was talking about it this weekend.
01:07He's hoping that they can find a way to get it done and come to terms on a deal that makes both of them happy.
01:14Right.
01:15Do you think he wants to come back?
01:17I think he would.
01:18You don't think he was, I think he was, I think he was bothered.
01:21He didn't say it publicly, but I think he was bothered by the Bruins.
01:25Oh, yeah.
01:25Not just writing him a check.
01:27And he felt like they did him dirty, right?
01:28I mean, do you think they're going to give him the money he wants?
01:31Well, that is the interesting point.
01:33But can Florida afford to him at the price that he wants?
01:36If he loved it here, he'd take less?
01:37Right.
01:38Right, but he would have took less to stay here.
01:40It would be so dumb.
01:41I understand Courtney's point and all of it makes sense.
01:44It's just, for me, the Bruins are not winning this year.
01:47Right.
01:47Spending this money at the top of the market on a guy that you just traded who won a cup with Florida doesn't really make me feel like you're building for something.
01:54It feels like you're trying to hold on to something.
01:56And from his perspective, why come back for what this season is going to be when you can, I mean.
02:04Do you want to retire a Panther?
02:07What's the difference?
02:08Winning a couple cups?
02:11Or do you want to retire?
02:12Do you want your last three years to be with the Bruins where you stink and maybe don't make the.
02:18Maybe he doesn't want three more years.
02:19Maybe he comes back here for just one and, you know, gets to relax, call it a day and retire.
02:25So what was the whole, like, four, you know, semantics?
02:29I will say this, Greg.
02:31Once you get used to happy hour, it's hard to go to a place without it.
02:36And I bet when he looks at those checks that he gets down in Florida and he compares them to what he got up here, he's probably like.
