Marleau would have to agree to that though, so it may not be possible.
My suggestion is just something we could do it trading him wasn't an option.
(There's obviously still a trade involved but Marleau wouldn't leave Toronto)

You can argume that one, I think he's a good player myself but signing him long term is debatable, having Marleau at a 6.25M cap hit it catastrophic though
Giving old guys term is a serious risk, especially if its for 3 years
Who's doing us that favor? there basically going to have to agree to collude with us to get around the salary cap
Jesus, if we get caught doing that were toast
WASHINGTON ALREADY DID IT THIS YEAR WITH ORPIK.
- The league investigated & deemed it completely legal.
- Whoever does the "favour" will get fair compensation for taking on a 1-year cap hit.

Honesty, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come back whatever the price. We have enough capable wingers in the pipe that Marleau could just go back to San jose for his final season and retire a Shark. All good as far as I am concerned.

I think those 30 goal seasons were a bit of a fluke. But that's just my opinion.

This needs to be stickied.
In terms of Marleau being worth every penny, this isn't quite true. It's like a splurge purchase that's okay, but may cause budgetary problems later.
Name the capable wingers in the pipeline that could come and produce in our top 9? Grundstrom and Bracco are not ready. Trevor Moore isn't that realistic. The Leafs are actually very thin for capable wingers that could produce, especially for our top 6. We need Nylander back in the worst way.
he is soo bad right now. He was also pretty shit last year but how dare we talk badly about our recent overpaid acquisition?
Guy has 0 creativity and the play dies on his stick.
I felt bad for anybody that had to play on his line last year. This year, poor matthews

I think people expected better with him on Matthews wing. He’s also looked pretty bad.

He thinks he can beat NHL goalies with his weak sauce attempts. His finishing touch is, well, almost finished.
You're missing the point.
Marleau probably doesn't wan't to leave....and no one is going to force him to.
This is a win-win for everyone involved....including Marleau.
But far less goals this year and a pylon would get a decent # of assists playing with Matthews.
Dig even just the slightest bit deeper into the stats and you'll see it's not the same as previous seasons for Marleau.

again.
Marleau said he is struggling to find chemistry with Matthews.
which would probably be why he's struggling to get anything going.
I would say before people wanna take him behind back and shoot him down, is wait and see if we can move him with Kadri where he did have some chemistry.

He's off to a slow start...like many of the Leafs. If it's Game 41 and it's the same situation, then we can talk. A good hot streak and this talk goes into the abyss as usual. He's also never really played with Matthews, maybe he was a better fit with Kadri after all.

Lots of people in this thread:
https://hfboards.mandatory.com/thre...atrick-marleau-3-years-6-25m-aav-nmc.2366541/
.... should have a look and learn from their comments.
All this “easy to get out of... won’t hurt us long term... he’s a performer....” well, let’s just say this should be a big reality check

He’s clearly regressed, which is to be expected at this point. Year 3 of his deal sees his salary fall to 4.5 with a 3 million signing bonus. So his contract is very moveable in the 3rd year, the issue is good luck to get him to go anywhere with his NMC.

Marleau and Kadri should swap until Nylander is sorted.
Kadri has 0 goals too. 16 shots (4 came on the PP). 4 points (3A on the PP) and -7.
Might be a kick start both need. I think Kadri would embrace the wing.

To your point ...last year was 12 on the PP (i think) but,his 5x5 competition was top notch,so flukey maybe once but twice? gotta give credit to a pest that can do what he does!
