Marchand is usually around 20-25 goals. His 37 last year was an outlier compared to his career numbers. With the promise that Vatrano showed last year (44 goals between the AHL & NHL), its reasonable to assume he may be able to pick up the slack in that production. I wouldn't consider Green a massively overpaid dud of a dman. He is good for 40 points a year, skates really well, and is big, which isn't easy to find. He's also a right shot, which the Bruins need.
The premise of this roster, is to bring in puck moving dman, and get a return for Marchand, because if Vatrano and Vesey are on the roster and pan out the way they could, then the Bruins will need to let Marchand walk next year. If Marchand could yield a better dman than Green, then go get him.
I think where the $ needs to spent is on C and puck moving D. With good center's and dman that can move the puck, Vatrano & Vesey should be able to pick up 20-25 goals each.
