00:00You think Bennett, like, what would they have to do to keep Bennett?

00:04Would it kill him fiscally?

00:06And obviously they can't keep both of them, can they?

00:10Marchand's going to get rich somewhere else.

00:12Do you think he goes back to Boston or somewhere else?

00:16He never goes back to Boston.

00:18He never goes back.

00:19He's going to go somewhere else.

00:20He may go to Dallas.

00:21He could go to Vegas if they don't get Marner.

00:24Bennett, $8 million for eight years.

00:27You need that guy.

00:28He's your second-line center.

00:28So I think that's it.

00:30And you can – Aaron Eckblatt is good, but you can replace him.

00:34You can replace Marchand with a younger player because Marchand's 37 years old,

00:38and he was a central part of winning this.

00:40But if you keep Sam Bennett, you can keep this team together.

00:43They still have a great coach.

00:44They still have a great coaltender who won two Cups, who won two vests.

00:48This team was constructed so well by Billy Zito and managed so well by Paul Maurice.

00:52It's not a mistake they went back to back.

00:54It's so hard to do.

00:55It's hard to do it once.

00:57To do it twice in this era with the Sally Cap, it's a massive achievement for this team.

01:01This is a great team that could still be great next season.

01:04They won back-to-back, and they went to three in a row.

01:08Now they're going to be going for four.

01:09Do you think Bob could do it again, like that he could actually go back and do another run like this?

01:15If they play like that in front of him, Scotty, absolutely.

01:18Why not?

01:19He wasn't really that stressed that much.

01:20There was one or two games he was pressed.

01:22Last night, he wasn't impressed, and he said the same thing.

01:24These last two games, he wasn't even pushed hard.

01:27He said, guys, had shutout last night, and they went to sleep with him and slept.

01:30So Bob can do it.

01:31This team can do it again.

01:32They are a great team.

01:33They should be celebrated.

01:35It's so hard to do, and they did it perfectly.
