He ain't going nowhere.

 

[Timo Time]

No he's not.

link?

 

[Mach12]

Never going to happen.

 

[hohosaregood]

I'm dubious to say the least

 

[Juxtaposer]

He didn't say on the block. He said that there is a team trying really hard to get him, but we haven't asked him to waive.

"On the block" is an EXTREMELY misleading thread title.

 

[magic school bus]

In NHL16?

 

[hohosaregood]

I bet it's Babcock.

 

[OffSydes]

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Tampa will always make the most sense as a potential suitor and I'm sure teams are asking but it won't happen.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

The Sharks traded their first round pick. They aren't trading 1/3 of their best line.

 

[Coily]

Gets career pt 999 traded the next day. John Tortora asks why the fans aren't buying tickets.

 

[Sandisfan]

I don't think it happens and if it does it won't be until later in the year.....BUT

What kind of package from each team listed and those you think might want Merlot would it take for you to trade him.

 

[hohosaregood]

I just can't imagine the right combination of team with salary and pieces that could possibly make this deal. We're near the cap, any team that would want him would be a contender and most likely near the cap too. We would need a package that is at most equal to Marleau's salary and I don't think the pieces that would make up that package would be worth it.

edit: well, looking at hockeyscap, I'm surprised by the amount of cap space that winnipeg has.

 

[Hatrick Marleau]

Jonathan Drouin straight up

Tampa is probably the closest from what I see. Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, and Columbus just aren't any better than San Jose to make it worth leaving San Jose right now. New York is likely too close to the cap for it to work unless a third team is involved. Tampa has a little over 2 mil in cap space. They have the talent to trade if it makes sense for them. They have a GM that has been interested in Marleau for years. They were very close last year to winning the Cup. It makes a lot of sense if the pieces fall into place and Marleau wants to go.

He doesn't uproot is family for Winnipeg

 

[Sandisfan]

If this was the last year of Merlot's contract and he thought he could come back here after a short stay somewhere else then it might make sense to him.

 

[lsx]

Nyr.

 

[Bizz]

Marleau's trade value is at an all time low. There's no point in trading him anymore unless someone comes to them with some kind of overpayment.

 

[Dicdonya]

Nah, I don't think he's going anywhere, and really hope this doesn't blow out of proportion and cause a distraction like last year.

I can believe teams are interested in him, just can't see marleau waving, nor do I think we should trade him.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Nyr.

Sharks don't have a lot of cap space and the Rangers only have about a mil. I don't think they have what it takes talent-wise unless a third team is involved.

 

[CanadienShark]

I'd want something around Namestnikov from Tampa. Really like that guy.

 

[Mafoofoo]

I don't understand why Washington wants to trade us Ovechkin for Marleau. That's a terrible trade for them.
