I love talking to myself... Words from Marchand

"I am a part of this team and there's no reason for me not to be," Marchand said. "I want to be here and I want to show them I'm in shape and I'm ready to go this year. I'm just waiting to see and get it done here.

"I feel very good. I feel very strong. I'm very confident coming into the year. I'm hoping to build off last year and continue moving forward."

"I'm sure they're going to get something done," Milan Lucic said. "It doesn't concern me at all. I know he wants to remain a Bruin and that's the main thing."

Bruins assistant captain Patrice Bergeron agreed.

"We've talked a little bit about it and hopefully it gets done," Bergeron said. "I don't get into details with him because it's none of my business, but obviously he'll be taking part in camp.

"He showed what he can do and his confidence was beyond his years in the playoffs and the way he handled himself. The way he helped our line was huge and hopefully he's on my side again this year."
