Maple Leafs' Patrick Marleau: Signs three-year pact with Toronto

Marleau reportedly received a two-year offer from the Sharks last week but got a better offer from the Maple Leafs, which will net the 37-year-old $6.25 million per year. He should immediately jump into a sizable role with the Leafs and is a model of durability considering he hasn't missed a game in each of the last four years. Marleau is coming off a 2016-17 campaign where he had 27 goals and 19 assists.

Sharks' Patrick Marleau: Has offer in hand

Marleau has spent his entire career with San Jose since being taken second overall in the 1997 NHL Draft, so it is hard to imagine him putting on another jersey. The 37-year-old is reportedly looking for more years than what the Sharks are willing to offer, which could be why he hasn't pulled the trigger yet. If the winger does decide to move on, it will likely be for a Stanley Cup contender.

Sharks' Patrick Marleau: Unprotected for expansion draft

The first thing Vegas GM George McPhee will want to determine is whether Marleau plans to come back for another season. The 37-year-old winger's name has circulated as a potential retiree, but if the Golden Knights can secure a contract for the Saskatchewan native, they would be in a position to add a solid veteran that hasn't missed a game since the 2008-09 campaign.

Sharks' Patrick Marleau: Dealing with broken thumb

Marleau still managed to register a goal in each of the Sharks' final three contests despite the broken digit, which almost certainly affected his ability to shoot the puck. The winger posted his lowest point total (46) in an 82-game season since 2001-02 (44). What the injury and the slight drop in production mean for the veteran's long-term future remains to be seen, but he will have an important decision to make as he will become a free agent on July 1 unless he re-signs with San Jose before then.

Sharks' Patrick Marleau: Nets lone goal in season-ending loss

Another tough exit for Marleau, who is a UFA this summer. He scored in three straight games to close out the postseason and did his best to try and send the series to a Game 7. It remains to be seen whether the veteran will stay in San Jose or move on, but he proved with 27 goals this season that he's still a very capable goal-scorer who is worth owning in most fantasy leagues.
