I mean probably, but the dude is hammered at the team cup party and it's not July 1, and negotiations aren't complete.
You put way way way too much stock into the things athletes say.

Quality of life can mean a nice place to live, with no state tax and being able to work out by the beach and be left the fuck alone.
Not to mention a winner, that appears to be the best run org in hockey.
Florida checks all the boxes, and Tampa and Dallas come pretty close.

I'd say thats the liklihood as well, but it has very little to do with the drunken ramblings of Bennett at the parade.
I suspect Florida replaces Ekblad without missing a beat too

The have to hold firm with Knies and Tavares. Can’t just pay everyone top dollar. If players arent willing to buy in then there are always other players.
Florida and Carolina do a good job of that.

Ekblad is a funny one.
Contract might end up being a disaster, and i dont think he's a true 1 ( Forsling is) but he's the best D on the market ( save for Karlsson via trade) and someone ( Toronto, but they would have to flip Rielly) will go nuts ( Habs kinda feel perfect here, as do Wings)

I would very much hold Tavares to the fire here. If he really really wants to stay its at your number.

Not playing around anymore.
Ekblad is exactly what the Habs need but I think he has no interest in signing in Canada. Really is a shame.

Yeah that's fair, but i think while there is alot of reasons to not want to sign in Toronto, i think it's also fair to not include them when you hear guys dont want to play in Canada.
Of the Florida three, i suspect Ekblad is the one they have the best shot at.
Since he is the best D thought by a mile, some of these goofy teams with cap room, massive cap room, like Detroit could just make prices too uncomfortable.

Every contender and some non contenders are going to be on Marchand.
I think he's said he's going to take highest offer.
I think that means 4 years and is minumum 7 maximum 9
Panthers will find some 7th D dude from Belarus on a roster and turn him into Forsling
Trev isnt winning the Knies contract if its full term , JT give him your number or tell him to fuck off
last contract , all about the money ...nothing else he won cups

Even if you are a middling or even bad team. I can see the value in having Brad Marchand around in your room teaching the kids to be the right kind of cunty.
At a certain point in the deal hes assuredly moveable if you want it to come to that as well. Marchand could very well age like Corey Perry

Exactly what Tkachuk and others have said
Florida over the last 6+ years have created a great wining ecosystem and culture
Solid regime and coach and all the amenities to raise a family with great weather and peace from the media circus

Some call me Tim
Enviroment is a factor too. Marchand was old and slow in many Bruins games this year. He lit up when he went to Florida and especially in the playoffs.
Good point but Perry has been paid peanuts for years on 1 year deals
Brad gets a big ticket and all the risk with a 35+ CBA player
I wouldnt go more than 2 years
