I can literally hear you wringing your hands. I'm of the same mind, Herr. It's been a slog, watching the Canucks be manhandled and outpaced by those teams, but now that the Canucks are the younger, faster, and stronger team, those California trips are going to be fun.

I did wring my hands a bit reading that :lol:

 

But yeah, those California trips were some of the most absolute demoralizing of times during the nadir of the rebuild. With LA and Anaheim being firmly behind the Canucks on paper, dis goin be good.

Still have about 2.5 million to work with. Only 12 forwards signed, so perhaps Marleau for 2 million as well?

It looks like the reunion isn't happening after all. 

Patrick Marleau's agent, Pat Brisson, told Sportnet's Elliotte Friedman that his client does not fit with the Sharks right now. Marleau will pursue other playing opportunities in the NHL. 

Marleau, who turns 40 on Sept. 15, spent the first 19 years of his NHL career in San Jose. He played the last two years with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes this offseason. 

The former Sharks star moved back to California this offseason and made his wish to return to San Jose known. Shortly after being traded to the Hurricanes, Marleau was bought out, opening more speculation he could wear teal again this coming season.

Clearly, the Sharks had other plans.

Marleau was a three-time All-Star with San Jose, but scored just 37 points last year, his lowest total in a full season since he was a rookie. Everyone loves a good reunion story, but this one simply didn't make much sense

Patrick Marleau, Sharks do not have fit at this time, his agent says originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

No fit at this time. Maybe he waits it out and signs a deal halfway into the season for additional depth for their playoff push/run.
