We continued answering the big questions facing the Sharks as Marcus tackled whether the Sharks should re-sign Joe Thornton and Patrick Marleau. Now, just like yesterday, the rest of the staff weighs in with their thoughts on the matters.

These guys are going to get more money and/or term than the Sharks can or should match. Don't believe me? Look at July 1 UFA signings. Boedker got $16m over four years. There is exactly zero chance that either of these guys are worth less than Boedker. I know there will be a lot of people arguing that "they like playing here" and "they have families here" and use these arguments as rationale for believing that one or both of these guys will sign a very team friendly deal.
