Thread: Boston fans think this is a contender lol
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>I think <a href="/users/Bf3351" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Bf3351</a> made a good point about the decline in Bergeron and Marchand though. If they are still producing at their current level then yes they can contend, but if their production drops which is entirely possible, they won’t contend. Bergeron and Marchand have both played a lot of heavy minutes.</div></div>

they have and could certainly hit a wall/ fall off, but they are showing 0 signs of it. Bergy probably has another 3 years of being a top 6 forward, then being a great 3rd line defensive center. Marchand is a top 5 winger in the league and hes only improved over the past few years. he doesnt play a type of game where he'll fall off unexpectedly, hes so good at avoiding contact and keeping the puck.

The bruins window is closing, no question of that. but to say this team still isnt a cup contender in 2 years would be idiotic. they do a very good job at internally managing cap and while it they groom their prospects a bit longer than most teams, they know how to grow studs. pun not intended but it works.
