00:00It's like a mutual respect type thing, or at least they're trying to gain back some mutual respect by saying, like, we do love Marchand.
00:07If he's open to it, since he is a free agent, if he wanted to take a real hometown deal and come back here and finish out his career as a Bruin, we'd welcome him back with open arms.
00:18That's how I think that they're posing it.
00:20I don't think that they should, though.
00:21To me, it's just backsliding.
00:23I think you made that trade.
00:24It was obviously difficult for both sides, and you gave him the out to go to a place where he could win.
00:31He went and he won.
00:32I just feel like it would be running very contrary to what you're trying to do with your front office right now, whether you trust them or not, which is actually finally rebuilt, actually finally start to set a new foundation.
00:45I just don't think it makes sense for the philosophy what you're trying to do.
00:47No, and look, I get why the rumors are out.
00:50I bet the Bruins want it out there that they want him back.
00:53They may really feel that way.
00:54The Bruins may really want him back.
00:56Yeah, if he's going to play for like $5 million a year.
00:58I don't think he's going to want to come back.
01:00No.
01:01And, you know, it would be a real nightmare for Keith if he came back.
01:04It would be the worst of both worlds for him.
01:06He could either go to the Leafs and get paid, and I don't know, maybe they'll do something in the playoffs.
01:12Maybe they'll get...
01:13Well, maybe he's the piece that puts him over the top.
01:14Right, maybe.
01:15The text line goes, Jones, Leafs and Bruins, you're picking the Leafs?
01:18Bro, what?
01:20I think they had the fourth most points in the NHL.
01:21He'd also be going there for his final check.
01:24Like, he'd be going there to get paid, or he would go to Florida and take a discount there
01:28because he'd want to be part of a 3P and would be like this great historical NHL rep.
01:34Right.
01:34If he's taking less, he's going to Florida.
01:36He's not coming back here.
01:37Why would he come back here?
01:37Because he loves his house in Charlestown so much?
01:40Like, no offense.
01:41I don't think Charlestown is...
01:42It's not that great.
01:42After he's gotten to go live somewhere else, he's also probably like, you know what?
01:46It's not that bad picking up my family and moving and going somewhere else for a little bit.
01:50Yeah.
01:51I mean, look, I...
01:51Like, I'm at the end of the career.
01:53It's fine.
01:54I enjoy Charlestown.
01:55But it's not that great where you're taking discounts to come back to the crummy Bruins.
01:59And so, yeah, if he's taking a discount, Florida's the spot.
02:02But if he's going to the highest bidder, I'd imagine a team like Toronto would be that.
02:06And again, the Leafs don't win anything.
02:09I wouldn't make it sound like you win a lot of stuff either if you're the Bruins.
02:12I mean, you beat the Leafs all the time in the playoffs.
02:13Fair.
02:14But Marchand on the other side of that, that might change.
