Sportsnet: The Marleau Accord - Patty Requests to be Traded to a Western Team

[ShaneFalco]

Interesting. They were other team after him.

I'm not sure of the upside for Marleau if he continues to play. Waive his NMC for a team that might make the playoffs?

We'll see.

California is home

 

[Trapper]

somewhere out there babcock just shed a tear

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Oh please God let this happen

 

[ACC1224]

Imagine offloading both Zaitsev and Marleau the same offseason

This doesn't mean much until Marleau joins the conversation.
Nothing discussed matters if he doesn't want to leave.

 

[Rare Jewel]

California is home

L.A isn't San Jose though.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Holy Christ I’ll be ecstatic if this happens.

 

[ShaneFalco]

But, but, what will Babcock do without PM, Brown and Zaitsev? Complain about depth and the players he lost no doubt

 

[Cor]

Trevor Lewis for Patrick Marleau.

We then bury Lewis, buy him out at a 666K cap hit, or use him as our 4C

 

[HoweHullOrr]

California is home

San Jose = north California
LA = southern California

 

[HamiltonNHL]

It would be money out, money in but Toronto might be able to get a 3/4 C I'd be ok with it

D

we need D.

 

[ShaneFalco]

San Jose = north California
LA = southern California

Ok

 

[nuck]

Probably for Kovalchuk

I doubt they'd be having talks like this unless Dubas had talked with Marleau about it

 

[socko]

Holy **** Dubas is really taking it upon himself to clean up Lou's mess this offseason. Right on.

Yeah the guy who got schooled in the Kessel trade vs the guy who got out of the Phaneuf contract. Dubas stinks.

 

[Morbo]

San Jose = north California
LA = southern California

If only there were some way to rapidly travel from one place to the other in the same state.

damn.

oh well.

 

[Cor]

San Jose = north California
LA = southern California

Toronto = No where near California.


Apparently Patty’s wife wants to be back in Cali, which is where she is from IIRC

 

[ACC1224]

I doubt they'd be having talks like this unless Dubas had talked with Marleau about it

He's as good as gone then?

 

[ShaneFalco]

I doubt they'd be having talks like this unless Dubas had talked with Marleau about it

yeah guaranteed PM is aware of what's going on or the dialogue doesn't happen in my mind

 

[Morbo]

The Young GM was left a full bedpan by the Old GM.

 

[socko]

I really doubt he does. He fully plans on playing with the Leafs next year. Which is what's going to happen.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Marleau, Johnsson, 3rd
For
Martinez

Rielly - - - - ____
Muzzin - Martinez

 

[Ziggdiezan]

If Dubas pulls this one off I hope people stop all the Dubas hate....

I will be the first to admit the contracts havent gone that well but gotta give credit when credit is due like the Muzzin trade.

 

[Sypher04]

Toronto = No where near California.

That would be a fortunate turn of events for us. Might be the only way I'd ever see him waiving his NMC. Short of for the purpose of a buyout that is.

 

[PromisedLand]

not that I don't want marleau of the team I do but is it possible that this is a chess move by leafs management to see if marner's demands lower?

marner and marleau seem to be close so this should be interesting

 

[Pocket Hercules]

I think this tweet implies that the Leafs have already floated this idea by Marleau and would waive his NMC provided that it's back to a California based team. Makes sense, if true.
