Patrick Marleau Willing To Work With The San Jose Sharks |
Mercurynews.com is reporting that Patrick Marleau is willing to begin talks with San Jose Sharks’ management before the start of free agency. From the article:
“What that sounds like from here: Marleau wants to give the Sharks a fair shot of signing him to a deal at a “hometown discount” (but not a huge one) before throwing himself on the open market. But if Marleau isn’t signed by July 1, the odds of him returning will greatly diminish. At least a couple of teams (Los Angeles? Minnesota?) are likely to throw crazy money at him.”
As far as the status of Evgeni Nabokov, apparently he and Sharks’ management are playing a game of chicken to see who blinks first. A novel theory about the future of San Jose’s goal tending is the thinking by some that you simply get to the playoffs and hope your goaltender gets hot, be it a proven veteran or an aspiring rookie. Such thinking may have been in play when the Sharks failed to secure a ‘proven’ backup this past season, and it may manifest itself further if they decide to go with Tomas Greiss as the starter next season.

From your standpoint I hope that he stays because he’s an amazing player…from the another standpoint as the Sharks are a main rival of the Coyotes I’d like to see him go
Apparently the Kings are very interested in him, and seeing Marleau in a Kings sweater would be horrifying! My friend torturedkingsfan HATES the idea of his team acquiring Marleau - he thinks Marleau is too old - but he’s been saying that every year for the last 4 years!
If Patty doesn’t stay, then I hope he heads East, just so I don’t have to watch him play against the Sharks. I hope he remains a boy in teal, though.
