00:00interest uh the athletic reporting that the bruins would the boston bruins would like to
00:05speak with brad marshand tomorrow bring daddy home when when allowed to uh if uh if the panthers do
00:13not uh get a deal done with him today so um i'm not sure why uh one would uh get an indication
00:22that brad marshand would want to come back here hell no um but um maybe maybe who knows maybe he
00:29loves he loved the black and gold so much that he would like to come back to the dumpster fire that
00:35is the uh current state of that organization how would he miss his pasta i would maybe i would agree
00:41with you courtney if we knew that he only wanted to play one year comes back finishes up fish finishes
00:48up as a bruin i would agree with that but it seems like he wants to play several years you know let's
00:53call it three why i don't know why he would want to come back to an organization that for the next
01:00three years especially after you just won a stanley cup is not going anywhere when you probably could
01:07if you don't resign with florida you could probably get some good money on the open market with another
01:13team that might be in the mix for a player of your caliber see i think i think he will take less
01:19to stay there in florida okay and he it doesn't have i don't you know i i think he liked wearing
01:25the sea but there's no doesn't have that pressure down there he doesn't he's playing on the third
01:31line yes curtis what i mean what did we see with the new jerseys no see so they're saving it for him
01:38courtney's on to something that's probably not gonna happen oh thank you tom so yeah and like i said
01:43toronto is also reportedly interested in him so if it doesn't work out with florida toronto is another
01:49team that is showing interest does does florida after signing bennett to the eight years what was
01:55it 64 million did they have enough money to give brad let's say you know six million a year for three
02:03years they have um like uh i saw we talked about this earlier but i saw their gm say that they are
02:12they have money and they're hoping that guys who are unsigned will be willing to they can meet in
02:19the middle and that guys uh they want that singular goal of uh another cup and uh and dynasty and and
02:29all the and all that goes with that so they're hoping that guys are willing to take a florida discount
02:36i guess um but i mean how can you look at if you're brad martian and and you have the opportunity
02:43to win it again next season and be part of that dynastic run i i look at it totally opposite he just
02:51won his second he's got one more payday he's gonna cash in i mean the nhl players don't make nearly the
02:57same as what the other superstars in other leagues make so if he can make two million more a year
03:01he's not going to turn that down do you think well no i i if you're if you're saying somebody's
03:06willing to give him seven million per year and florida's only willing to give him five i agree
03:11with you curtis he's going to get that seven mil why would he take less at this stage you just got
03:14another championship well seven million in toronto where their taxes is probably like five million in
03:21florida i don't know because it's all about so for home games absolutely so half the season you're
03:27playing without income tax but then the rest of the season it's still taxed if you're in cities
03:31like boston or toronto you know what i'm saying yeah so i don't know i'm not a maybe get my dad on
03:36the phone but i i guess the question would be greg and you brought up this point with the gm and
03:41them wanting to take guys and see if they're willing to take less money so as far as the florida
03:47panthers the free agents the goalie sergey bobroski is going to be a free agent uh always forget the v
03:55yeah bravo bravo how how do you say bravo ski bravo ski but bravo ski oh i thought it was
04:03bravo ski i thought the z was silent uh quick bruins update for you i don't know if you saw it
04:08just came across the desk uh henry yokiharu michael di pietro and johnny beecher have all signed with
04:14the uh bruins okay let's go who was the first one henry uh yokiharu it was one of the guys you got
04:21at the trade deadline last year uh the defenseman i believe uh three years three million di pietro
04:26two years eight hundred and twelve thousand johnny beecher one year deal 900k yeah i like the
04:31defenseman i like him with the puck you like him with the puck yep and then you got um elusive
04:36sean you got evan rodriguez he's a free agent brad marshan um nico strum so when you look at those
04:44guys like i guess the question is who's the most valuable or how do they value on the re-signing
04:52of those players that they have because a lot of their core is already on the contract can i be
04:57honest with you yep i don't want them to sign any of them oh okay i want them to prepare a godfather
05:02offer for connor mcdavid next year no no i'm just saying i'm talking about from the florida panthers
05:07perspective oh i'm sorry you're talking about the bruins yeah i heard you say that over the weekend yeah
05:13yeah that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever why not i would say a man can dream yeah i mean
05:18don't sign just re-sign a bunch of cheap-ass dudes where does the money come from uh you can make cap
05:24space greg that's the beauty of it you have some contracts expiring what have you traded swayman
05:29you familiar with are you familiar with jeremy jacobs yeah the way he conducts business yeah the
05:35bruins spend the cap every year to their credit so you see him making cap room and and offering
05:40connor mcjesus a godfather deal is what he's not the one that needs to finagle the cap room that's
05:45don sweeney and there's right there's there's contracts that are expiring and ways to get out
05:49of certain deals that you can have the amount of cap space you need to offer connor mcdavid a
05:54massive contract next year right it's the same amount of money it's just different players
05:57i mean i'd be all i'd be all for that and if connor mcdavid wants to get and if you're the nhl don't
06:04you want connor mcdavid playing on a team that you know is an american team wiki you weren't there
06:12for it friday but millberry said it he's like you want connor mcdavid on an original six team
06:16chicago boston or the new york rangers that's where you want him okay i mean i'm all for that
06:22i am all for that one can you imagine connor mcjesus playing for the bruins no i cannot
06:29neither can i but i will keep dreaming and attempt to but how i justify the fact that
06:34they're not going to spend a lot in this free agency but can edmonton afford him after just
06:38you know given uh dry style i think he's going to play somewhere else i don't believe that the
06:44boston bruins uh when it comes to their ownership as currently constructed are going to put together a
06:50godfather like deal for connor mcdavid but you do believe that he won't be playing in edmonton
06:56after this season correct talking about a team that nickel and dimed patrice bergeron they're not
07:02they don't nickel and dime anymore it's an it's a whole it's a whole new age he froze the league out
07:06he got what he wanted he got a hard cap and now he spends because they gave pasta money they gave
07:10mcavoy money they gave um swayman money you can call the jacobs cheap and they are cheap because they
07:16helped initiate the cap in the first place but since that cap has been in place they spend to that cap
07:21every year can you imagine that uh mcdavid center in the line uh next to pasta
07:26i'm looking up what marshan earned over the course of his career in jalen brown's final year with the
07:34celtics he will earn 65 million marshan's nhl career 72 million well that's the difference between
07:40hockey and basketball it's massive it's just crazy go look at baseball if you want those numbers to
07:46even go through the roof i think basketball is higher than baseball now oh you think so yeah
07:50aav-wise oh okay aav-wise but i would agree with shine though if you're the bruins why wouldn't you
07:58make a run at this guy if if you believe that he's there's a chance he might not be in edmonton
08:04let's say edmonton makes another run so this will be that'll be three years in a row where they get
08:11deep into the because they've been in the finals the past two years and lost now they get they get
08:15but let's say they get back to the finals again and lose again or let's say they get bounced deep in the
08:20playoff run don't you think mcdavid is probably going okay let me see if i can go somewhere else
08:28that i can really really capitalize off of my name and playing for a team that maybe is an original
08:38six or is it a team in a big market he's like let me look at the bruins what is this millionaires
08:44tax thing that they have in massachusetts let me take a look at that yeah but if they're giving
08:49them a hundred and what twenty thirty million maybe he's like all right more like 150 all right
08:55150 million well what if mom donnie's president then everybody's under the same tax and we get
09:00we get back to neutral
09:01you
