Though the 37-year-old’s main priority is likely to remain with the Sharks, considering he has been with the team since 1997, he may see a change in scenery. Free agency kicks off Saturday, and Edmonton does need forward help, so Marleau may be a fit.
In 82 games this past season, Marleau racked up 27 goals and 46 points with the Sharks. He also posted strong possession metrics and showed that he is still able to contribute offensively, even as he grows older. With outstanding speed and offensive awareness, he is able to keep up with the play and score goals.
