Can the Bruins Please Get Their Shit Together

ESPN There doesn't seem to be any progress to report in the negotiations with restricted free agent Brad Marchand on a new contract. Marchand's agent Wade Arnott told CSNNE.com Thursday that there is a chance Marchand could arrive for camp which starts September 16 unsigned. 


Did someone forget to tell Peter Chiarelli that Marchand scored 11 goals and had 19 points in the playoffs this year? Seriously I don't care if he wants all the tea in China, give the man what he wants and get him on the ice.  A 2nd line composed of Marchand and Bergeron could be a force to be reckoned with, and providing they both stay healthy the tag team could be around as long as Al Davis. On top of this Marchand is one of those players in the NHL that teams keep an eye out for not necessarily because he's a playmaker but because he has the ability to ruffle the feathers of opponents.  Just look at how the Sedin sisters fell apart in the Stanley Cup Final.  Bottom line is even when he's not showing up on the score sheet Marchand has a huge impact on the game and needs to be locked up now before his stock goes up any higher.
