It's not. 2nd line money these days is more in the 4M-5M range. He's getting 1st line money which I don't have a huge objection to in the short term. He's 28... he'll probably be able to maintain his level of play for two or three years but after that it's far more likely then not that he declines. So 75% of this hefty contract is going to be spent on a declining Brad Marchand... It'd be one thing if he were declining from a very high level but he won't be.
This is not a good contract (For the Bruins... it's an exceptional contract for Brad Marchand).
