Confirmed Signing with Link: [SJS] Patrick Marleau signs with the Sharks (1 year, $700K)

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

Some people just don't know when to quit.

Tell that to Chara.

He's cooked.

 

[ThorNton Apologist]

Thank you Pittsburgh for the free Ryan Donato

45 more games to overtake Howe and have the record for most games played. That has to be the main reason he wants to continue to play ( well and winning a cup but that unlikely with the Sharks ) . His play no longer warrants this.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I think that if San Jose Sharks thinks that Patty Marleau is good enough to play for the team then they should sign Patty Marleau. Very handsome guy and a nice player all around!

 

[82Ninety42011]

Or rather when to stop handing out contracts.

You don't get to that amount of games played without having incredible passion for the game and competing, Marleau is going to hang em up when nobody wants him.

I suppose it goes both ways.

 

[CupInSIX]

It's only right to see him back in the teal.

2 years 2.5mAAV

 

[82Ninety42011]

Tell that to Chara.

I'll be honest don't watch enough Bruins games but is he not even a 3rd pairing guy now? He's always been a freak in gym.

 

[one2gamble]

1 day contract to retire

Lol lets hope not. Anything over 1y 700k is a bad deal

Christina Marleau's burner account?

In all seriousness. 1 year, league minimum to give the guy an opportunity to pass Howe's record is the least the Sharks could do for the guy. He's been an amazing servant of the club and can still do a job on the 4th line.

 

[SotasicA]

Some people here *shakes head*

Just because he is past his prime doesn't mean he shouldn't play.

If he's better than the 651st best skater in the world, he should still be in the league (31 teams x 21 skaters).

He is so handsome and nice all around sire I love it too. Hopefully he can continue playing ice hockey for 3 more years. Even two would be good for all of us.

[Crazy Joe Divola]

Works for me

 

[Voight]

I guess hes OK with retiring without a cup.

The end of Marleau's career feels like Jagr's, but without the fun.

I think Jagr being a surefire HHOF'er plus one of the best ever plus just being a fun dude helped that.

 

[CanadienShark]

Guy wants to get to 2000 games I guess.

He's at 1918 combined regular season and playoffs. Even if not for lockouts and covid, 2000 regular season would have been very unlikely. He could hit 2000 combined though.

 

[innitfam]

Sign with SJ again for the family, go for one last SCF run at the deadline?

 

[DRAGO 18]

Would've loved to get Patty a cup here but dude had nothing left in the tank

 

[SFKingshomer]

SJ will never learn. They need to move on from Marleau and Thornton.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Some people just don't know when to quit.

All hes ever done since he's 18, prob has no idea what to do if he retires.

Golf I don't know it's crazy though he keeps getting signed. I get he's a good teammate and must be almost like another coach but his on-ice ability has really slipped since his second season in Toronto. The last two years he should have not played let alone another one.

 

[themelkman]

SJ will never learn. They need to move on from Marleau and Thornton.

yeah and on to who? Find me a 3c willing to take as much as Thornton and be as good?
