Trade Patrick Marleau to Buffalo.
Still riding that 2011 SCF cred eh? lolTampa a contender for sure! TO a contender, laughable...got to win a playoff round, something they still don't know how to achieve
I think the big question is, would he accept being healthied?Marleau would 'seriously consider' trade to contender ahead of deadline
This is obviously the last year of his career, and it would have to be an American team since to break the record he can't do a 2 week isolation. So does anyone want him? His numbers suggest he's cooked.

You don’t have to win a cup to have playoff experience.There is virtually no chance that Marleau gets picked up by any contender looking for a playoff run. The guy is done. He was a great foot soldier, but he has never won anything in the NHL so he doesn't even bring that experience to the table. The only reason he has a contract right now is that the Sharks are repaying his years of loyalty with helping him get to Howe's record. I like Marleau as he played the game the right way. But it's time for him to ride off into the sunset after this season, record or not.

If he wanted to play for a contender and take one last shot at winning the Cup, why did he sign with San Jose? Probably because the Sharks were the only team willing to actually play him so he could crawl his way to the all-time games played record.
Now that he's got that pretty much wrapped and has done nothing to show that he deserves to play in the NHL he's hoping another team will help him win that Cup, even if he's in the press box.
I have nothing against Marleau but this is pretty weak stuff. He should have retired a couple of seasons ago instead of embarrassing himself like this. He'll get the games played record (thanks to Ron Wilson), fine, but thankfully no other GM is going to gift him a Cup ring by putting him on the roster instead of a player that actually deserves it.

Does a contender accept Marleau? Isnt he a serious risk out there?
Ok, using your logic the Canucks will never be a contender since they’ve never actually won a cup? Are people really this ignorant orTampa a contender for sure! TO a contender, laughable...got to win a playoff round, something they still don't know how to achieve
First you say you don’t have anything against the guy after posting an entire paragraph dissing him, then you post more stuff dissing him, then you confuse the hall of fame Wilson with the former coach.If he wanted to play for a contender and take one last shot at winning the Cup, why did he sign with San Jose?

Besides being the current leader in playoff game winning goals."won" and "doesn't bring that experience" is what I said. I didn't say he didn't have playoff experience. I said he doesn't bring winning experience in the playoffs.
Probably because with a pandemic going on, he wanted to be with his family in San Jose. Anybody telling any player when they should retire is being absolutely ridiculous. Why does anyone think he's embarrassing himself? He's not. He's being asked to fill a role on a team with quite a few young forwards on it without really being in their way if they play well.
Who is anyone here to tell any player when they should or shouldn't call it a career? Get over yourselves.
