Really good deals for both!

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Marleau's 3-year deal is worth $6.66 M a year AAV; Thornton's deal is $6.75 M a year AAV.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
"@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Marleau's 3-year deal is worth $6.66 M a year; Thornton's deal is $6.75 M a year."/SJ continues to get bang for buck.

Thornton's new deal also has a NMC (obviously), not sure about Marleau's yet.

Yeeesss. Exactly what I would have hoped to see for their contract amount and length. Considering how well they are both playing I couldn't be happier. I hope they both retire here!

#SJSharks sign Thornton and Marleau to three-year extensions. Cap hit for 19 is $6.75M; cap hit for 12 is $6.6M.

The only thing better than having Thornton and Marleau locked up for three more years is Marleau's $6.66mil cap hit. #numberofthebeast

This is brilliant cap management by DW and a commitment to win from the guys themselves.

By my calculations, we'll have ~$12M next year to re-sign the likes of Demers, Wingels, Stalock (who would get raises) and Boyle (who'd get a paycut) to field a full 21-man roster. And that's assuming that we let Havlat stick around!

#SJSharks Thornton’s deal has been done for some time. Wanted to wait until Marleau’s was done before signing his own
