Don Sweeney avoids Bruins' major financial strain with ridiculous contract demand

As the NHL trade deadline was coming to a close last March, Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney made a handful of moves that included some key players. Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo, and Charlie Coyle were all traded with two of the three ending up in the Atlantic Division.

Carlo ended up with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Marchand landed with the Florida Panthers. He ended up playing a vital role in the Panthers winning their second straight Stanley Cup title over the Edmonton Oilers. After the season, Marchand was a free agent and there were a number of potential destinations thrown around.
