If the left winger can gain a little more consistency, 70-75 points are within reach for him, with center Patrice Bergeron's health and Eriksson's ability to mesh with his new linemates being key factors with regards to Marchand's fantasy prospects out of the gate this season.","date":"Sat Sep 14"},"fullName":"Brad Marchand","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Does a lot of Marchand's fantasy value stem from his connection to the hip of Patrice Bergeron? Sure it does, but that shouldn't shy you away from it. Marchand and Bergeron have become a plus/minus machine on the ice for the Bruins. Whether they play with Jarome Iginla (likely) or Loui Eriksson (possible), expect continued production from the pair that has cycled linemates the past three seasons. All the while, Marchand has become adept at putting points on the board and is potent in the defensive zone. His feisty play tends to net Marchand a few more penalty minutes than a lot of other forwards that will approach 60 points. Combine the plus/minus, the PIMs and the points and you have a fantasy hockey darling.","seasonId":2014,"date":"Mon Sep 23"},"positionRank":15}
