Speculation: Summer 2018 Roster Discussion Part II

Bump

“And while Tavares could have had an equal opportunity to win and enjoy life in San Jose, no doubt about it, Marleau put it rather simply when he underlined the ultimate reasoning in why both he and Tavares ended up with the rising Leafs.
“I went to Toronto to win a Cup, so has John,” Marleau said.
No doubt in my mind Marleau would have also sent his old pal Thornton a message over the past week wondering what the UFA centre was up to. Remember that a year ago they contemplated going to Toronto together as a package.”

From Lebruns article, so Patty jumped ship to win a cup with a team that has no d-core and hasn’t won a playoff series in how long? Glad Jumbo is staying loyal and wants to win a cup with the team he bleeds for. Patty is gutless.

Hope Doug finds the right trade for us.

Honestly, DW is a complete idiot if he isn’t doing whatever he can to acquire Erik Karlsson. He let go of Marleau an entire year ago and spent that entire year preparing a gluttonous amount of cap space with the hopes of acquiring a superstar with only cap space. He struck out on Tavares, but he still has the opportunity to acquire another superstar in a move where his gluttonous amount of cap space will play a big role in allowing him to take on Bobby Ryan’s contract. He needs to take advantage of that while he can. It would be a massive failure if he just added a Skinner or a Pacioretty and tried to push with that player.

I think landing someone like EK would be good marketing as well. Just how 91 would have brought alot of eyes, a player like EK would be good for the org. My family doesn't follow hockey as much as myself and even they know EK.

I hope Patty never wins a cup.

Then you better be patient.

f*** that guy again....

 

[Friday]

Holy shhhhhh**** Patty really sucks

 

[STL Shark]

**** that guy again....

Nothing would make me happier than to face off with the Leafs in the SCF this year with a Seguin trade and beat them with the better of the two 91's and the better of the 2 Sharks HOFers. Jumbo scores an empty netter in game 7 for his 4th of the game and whips his cock out right in front of Patty and Tavares while they weep hysterically.

 

[pappaf2]

At this point I feel like Patty has a desire to help tear the sharks down as payback for some perceived slight against him.

Patty is an a-hole...I will ALWAYS root for the Sharks and ALWAYS against Leafs

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Why get worked up about what a guy who is not on our team saying.

Plz. 4-game sweep.

We have nothing else to even talk about right now. We didnt add anyone yet haha

He's no longer "Patty". I'll refer to him as #12.

 

[Naki]

Plz. 4-game sweep.

Or Tavares and Marleau get to watch from the luxury box that Thornton got for them so they can experience a cup run after missing the playoffs because they don't have a solid blueline.

 

[CanadienShark]

Marleau is dead to me. I know he was a popular Shark, but I was never as crazy for him as others. Mostly indifferent, but respected him. Emphasis on the past tense there.

 

[WSS11]

He let go of Marleau an entire year ago and spent that entire year preparing a gluttonous amount of cap space with the hopes of acquiring a superstar with only cap space.

He needs to take advantage of that while he can. It would be a massive failure if he just added a Skinner or a Pacioretty and tried to push with that player.

Dorion was recently asked what it would take to get EK, he jokingly responded with “ how about 10 first round picks”. I have faith DW is working the phones but he can’t do something stupid because of Tavares. With the free agent market being bare I’m sure the trade market prices are outrageous right now. Patience.

Patty's quotes are complete lip service. He wanted the extra year and the extra money, that simple. Not holding it against him at all. 'I want to win a cup/championship' is the PC response every athlete gives when discussing a signing.

 

[WTFetus]

Or from Tavares' playbook, "The guy who wore 12".

 

[Friday]

Seriously wonder if at the end he gets a one day contract with the Sharks to retire? I dont even want that to happen anymore, bye.

 

[tmunnuch]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Thornton sign somewhere else if the team remains the same. I guess logically, if he didn't sign somewhere last year, he wouldn't sign somewhere this year, since the team is basically the same if not better. But, part of me thinks that Thornton stayed around because he was waiting for DW to pull in major pieces this offseason. With no major pieces, it would be easier for Thornton to make a clean break, and go to a contender for the next couple of years.

In all seriousness, I agree. Extra year + more money + Babcock instead of Deboer, where they clearly had issues with each other. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he praised Toronto and had some jabs against the Sharks (specifically saying Babcock > Deboer), but that's what he's supposed to do as a TML player. Doesn't look like it made a difference anyway considering Tavares was just considering Toronto or New York, and only using San Jose as leverage.
I don't blame Marleau. But that doesn't mean I have to like him or root for him. I wish failure on that team and all their players.

Just wait DW always seems to pull something out of his ass out of nowhere.
