PITTSBURGH -- Patrick Marleau
But if rumors last November of Marleau wanting out reached fruition and he had gotten his wish, he would not be here with the Sharks getting ready for Game 1 of the Cup Final against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Consol Energy Center on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, TVA Sports).
According to multiple reports, Marleau, 36, asked Sharks general manager Doug Wilson to trade him, submitting a list of three teams he would accept a move to: the New York Rangers, Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings. All of those teams will be watching while the Sharks are playing Monday.
