0:00
line trip to Chris Johnston says that
0:03
Brad Marian may not be sticking around
0:06
with the Bruins fall out of contention
0:09
and we've kind of been talking about
0:11
this as being more of a possibility than
0:15
than people might think and I think it
0:17
is and now Martian's playing a heck of a
0:19
lot better um could this be like him
0:22
just trying to give it one more go and
0:24
if they can't get over the threshold
0:26
then then maybe he says okay guys you
0:31
me yeah it'll be interesting it will and
0:34
the four nations tournament plays a part
0:36
in this I think like if he goes and
0:38
plays with McKennon and Crosby right and
0:40
they have a great grand old time and
0:43
they're talking about how boy how how
0:45
great it would be for us to play
0:46
together yeah a cup run yeah it'd be
0:49
great wouldn't it and then the Bruins AR
0:51
kind of still floundering I'll tell you
0:54
it could be the thing that pushes Brad
0:56
Martian to say you know what yeah I'll
1:00
pushes him out the door maybe and how
1:02
about this how about this he goes and
1:05
signs with the Bruins at the end of the
1:10
year so they tra they trade him one of
1:13
those where he he goes doesn't sign an
1:15
extension he goes for a cup run and then
1:18
still is in the mix to sign here at the
1:20
end of the year to finish as a bruin
1:22
that makes so much sense for the Bruins
1:26
happen I don't know well look right now
1:31
they're in playoffs so they're certainly
1:33
right now it doesn't matter yeah right
1:35
now yeah if they're in the playoffs um
1:37
they freeall a little bit Yeah if they
1:39
fall out of it I mean I think there'll
1:41
be a conversation yeah if they fall out
1:43
of it they'll have a conversation with
1:45
them and ask him if he wants to go
1:48
Pittsburgh uh I don't think is an
1:51
option because yeah so it's got to be
1:55
it's got to be Colorado and maybe he
1:57
would say look I'm only going to
1:58
Colorado I only want play I think you
2:01
would play with McKinnon yeah um because
2:04
I don't I I honestly as as much as you
2:08
know people are saying you know behind
2:10
the scenes maybe there there might be a
2:12
little hang up with a contract extension
2:14
or you know the years of the value of
2:17
the aav or whatever it is like maybe
2:19
there's a little sticking point there
2:21
because some other people have said you
2:24
know and done the swan thing where you
2:27
know we're we're setting the market for
2:29
goal Le and all this and
2:31
Martian's taken discounts in the past to
2:33
stay here um so maybe's a snag there
2:36
with the contract thing um so it'll be
2:39
interesting to see but in my heart of
2:41
hearts I can't see the guy leaving I
2:42
just can't I just I just don't think he
2:44
will what do you think he wants three
2:46
years you think he's gonna play three
2:51
um how old I think now watching he's 36
2:54
right now 30 going to be 37 or is he 37
2:58
right now around there um
3:00
that would 40 yeah I mean he Pro he'll
3:03
probably want a three-year deal if I'm
3:04
the Bruins I don't know if I go three
3:06
years I don't and I think that's
3:07
probably where where your sticking point
3:08
is yeah I wouldn't either to be honest I
3:12
would either I'd go year to year I'd
3:13
want to go year to year from the Bruins
3:16
I mean berson went year to year at the
3:17
end so maybe that's what the Bruins are
3:19
saying um and he wants you know the
3:24
um yeah I mean I could see both sides
3:27
really I mean if I'm him you know I feel
3:29
like put my time in I've given you
3:31
discounts you should do me a solid but
3:33
if I'm the team you know we got to make
3:37
sure that you're still producing at a
3:39
high level you're getting up there in
3:40
age you know if you fall off we don't
3:42
want to be stuck so I could see from
3:46
both sides so yeah there could be an
3:47
issue there but at the end of the day
3:49
like I said I I can't see the guy going
3:51
somewhere else okay yeah well okay we'll
3:54
see um see how that plays out it'll be
3:56
interesting to see though if the Bruins
3:58
are like out of a play spot when it
4:00
comes to four nations time how that all
