I mean, it wouldn't surprise me to see a TSN article. "Marleau, Shopping With The Leafs" Wouldnt surprise me one bit to see a TSN article showing Marleau shopping at the mall with Marner and Mathews.

grandmaster Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 This guys needs to retire. He scored 16 goals last year while playing all 82 games. He is 39yrs old and it shows. Any team that gets him will be doing a disservice to their prospects by allowing this guy to take up a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all fine and well but Patrick has 6 million reasons to play next season and a legal contract saying he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he reminds me of someone else on the Canucks that carries the same cap hit. Sad thing is he is done and only 33yrs old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if he retired his deal would be cheap to move (ie Datsyuk to Arizona). Cap floor teams dont mind taking cap at all if they dont have to foot the bill.

Provost Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 It is always amusing to hear the Toronto based media with no perspective talking about Leafs stuff. Just heard a pundit say it would only take a 3rd rounder or less to get rid of Marleau’s contract. Not many teams are keen on taking on a $6 million dollar 4th liner, and even fewer on teams he would accept a trade to. It is pretty clear he wants to be close to California if all the reports are right. That leaves 1-4 options and those teams aren’t going to give the Leafs a gift for no return.

Lancaster Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Marleau is still a decent player... just not worth $6 million. 37 points last season and 47 the year before would indicate that he still has something to give. One thing is for sure, he is definitely durable. Hasn't missed a game since Mats Sundin was still around. Would I want him on the Canucks? Yes... only if the TML gives up some nice prospects or picks to go along with him. Imagine him playing alongside Pettersson and Boeser. Would be kind of like when Vanek was around.... like who would the opposition focus on more? The young guns... or the still speedy veteran that has potted 500+ goals in the NHL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 1M the Sharks will find a spot for him. He hasn't decided yet whether he wants to continue to play or not. In the past he has said that he would like to finish his career in Davos - he trains there in the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason not to try to take on a bad 1 or 2 year contract. Marleau + Kapanen For Tanev 50% retained While this only buys Toronto a year, it gives them a top defender at a ridiculously low salary, and wipes 4m salary off the books. That gives them enough to re-sign Johnsson, and if they move Kadri they should have enough to sign Marner. It does mean we would need to sign a RD though, and chances are our D becomes even more porous. But on the flip side we have two more options to try out with Horvat and Pearson. Top defender? If he is a top defender we should be getting more, shouldn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top defender on their team.... Only one year of club control and a big injury history, not the most trade value he has ever had... Unless we had another deal in place for a RD though, it would be Zaitsev coming back as one of the pieces. Edited June 7, 2019 by Provost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 5 hours ago, Ryan Strome said: Top defender? If he is a top defender we should be getting more, shouldn't we? I still consider Tanev a top defender. This past season wasnt his finest but that isnt to say a rebound year isnt likely. But he isnt worth top dollar due to his injury history, and the single year left on his contract... Not because he hasnt proven himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt they would’ve reached a certain level on their own. But bringing in Sundin was akin to a three month seminar on power life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
