This is the article where Malkin writes in that Marleau is the most underrated player.

I’ve got both cheeks in my hands and I’m holding on for dear life.

 

[ColePens]

BTW.... yes... I spelled his name Patric w/o the K in honor of Hornqvist.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

I would have been super happy 3 years ago.

 

[Pancakes]

I'm okay with it. We're not lacking for leadership so Marleau is whatever on that front but it looks like he can still score a bit. As long as Mike doesn't overuse him we should be able to get value out of him.

Marleau entering the Pens locker room:

@Richard would be proud.

 

[Gurglesons]

Probably one of the better bottom six additions we could have gotten.

 

[IcedCapp]

So not a 2nd then

 

[OnMyOwn]

3rd becomes 2nd if we win the cup.

 

[K Fleur]

The Pens now have the number 1, 2, and 4 active career playoff goals leaders.

It's at least not a 2020 pick, since the Penguins don't have a 2nd this year. If the Penguins win a cup, I'm not going to give a shit about paying a 2nd for Marleau. If they don't win a cup, a 2021 3rd is fine.

I'm fine with this. I thought he'd be cheaper, but it's either a fair price (I think a 2021 3rd is about equal to a 2020 4th) or they win a cup. So kinda hard to complain.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I dont really care what pick we give up if we win another cup. So this is good.

 

[Genetic]

So this means we shouldn't ever see ZAR on our 3rd line with everyone healthy? Right, sully? Right?

 

[EightyOne]

f***ing legit minor move. Let's go, boys!

 

[pistolpete11]

A little steep, but glad to have him. I'd put him with Malkin-Rust, but we'll see where he fits in.

 

[Beauner]

Are both possible picks 2021?

 

[KIRK]

Pens forced to pay a premium because Sid didn't get in the handshake line quickly enough in 2016.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Are both possible picks 2021?

Yeah, it has to be either a 2021 or 2022 picks, because the Penguins don't have a 2nd this year.

Oh bless your heart.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Marleau will play with Geno and Rust, I'd bet on it. At least to start.

 

[cheesedanish87]

I think it will be a good fit for the Pens.

Another thing to keep in mind with Marleau is that he can take face offs.

If he plays the PK his face offs would be a big help to the Pens.

This is why an AA trade could never happen.

JR...
