ESPN analyst and broadcaster John Buccigross speculated on Brad Marchand's upcoming contract extension with the Boston Bruins. Marchand is in the final year of his eight-year, $49 million deal.
Given his impressive performance, Buccigross emphasized that Marchand shouldn't expect a pay cut from his current AAV of $6.125 million. He praised Marchand for his leadership qualities, referring to him as one of the top captains in the league.
Speculating on Brad Marchand's contract with the Bruins, Buccigross posted on X:
"My guess is the Bruins want 2 years max. I would give him 3 years, 6 million AAV. I think that's 'the deal.' The Bruins probably want 2 years at 4-5 million. Maybe Marchand is like 'how can I make less than Lindholm? He has 18 points. I'm the second best player on the team.' And he'd be right."
