This will shut everyone up about “Marleau is coming to my team” crap. I’ve seen some really dumb Marleau signing scenarios too.
Also, props on signing Pavelski as well.

Some guy on Japers rink said that Marleau would sign in Washington with a 10 year contract. He said that it’s frontloaded so Marleau would take it

Like Marleau was going to sign for $10 years 46 mil with a team he never played for. The sad part was they all started ripping me for saying it’s not going to happen.

Hey Hossa signed for 5.3 and Pronger signed for 4.9 to teams they never played for…
I was hoping Patty would sign for a similar number to a team/town he’s played for his whole life. =\
Hossa also signed for 12 years, and Pronger signed for 7 years. I’m fine with Marleau having a slightly larger contract for 4 years, and then take a pay cut after it’s done as he likely won’t be able to score 40 goals anymore. It’ll give the Sharks more flexibility in 4 years, when the team will likely be pretty different.

Fools and Sages
Yeah, 4 years is good i guess. I just think we should take advantage of the talent we have now while they’re in their prime and try to make a run at a cup or two before our window closes; and having a player like patty at something like a 4.5 million cap hit would’ve done wonders for our chances at a cup for the next 5 or so years. Although i’m confident DW can keep our window from closing completely.
DW and the Sharks have stated repeatedly that they do not like those front loaded long term contracts. I never expected them to pursue one. I’m actually really happy with the term of Patty’s contract…the cap hit will make things interesting, though (even though it’s exactly what I expected).

6.9 for 4 years seems about right yes its high but its not front loaded which is best.
I am super excited though, I would have been totally heartbroken to see both Patty and Nabby leave.

Not high at all – after a 44 goal season coupled with the type of contributions Patty brings on both ends of the ice, that number is completely reasonable.

We've all been waiting to see if Marleau would dump us like an angry ex.
And he didn’t. take solice in that, San Jose fans. From where he started, to what he’s become, we had this guy from Day One. He’s officially our Stevie Y. We need to embrace that fact.

Yesssssssssss!
Fantastic news. This just made my hour, day, and summer. $6.9 sounds about right – sure, he may have been able to get slightly more from another club, but not substantially more. He gets a guaranteed hefty payday for the next 4 years, and he and his family get to remain in a community and with a team that they know and love. I think objectively he made the right call. Pavs’ money was totally expected, and I’m elated that he’ll be part of this franchise for the immediate future.
..:Fear The Fin:..

I like these deals...
Marleau was going to get near 7 mil…that was a given…but to get him to agree to only 4 years is awesome, IMO. He’s not going to be worth 7 mil 4 years from now, so it’s good we won’t be tied down to the contract for like 10 years. I really, really like that.
And Pavs for 4 years at 4 million is slightly better than I had expected. I was looking in the 4.5 range…so that’s good.
Hmmm, I’ll have to go play with capgeek and see what kind of room we’re left with. Good times.

Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Solid deals all around
Numbers are nearly perfect for their values. Not overpaying for either, but giving them both decent chunks of change.
Wish Marleau’s deal would have been longer term though…locking him in for the rest of his career.
Personally think Manny should be the next priority, then Seto and Nichol. But where is it written you can only get one deal done at a time? Wilson will get them all in on time.
Cap Geek
My guess is that Cap Geek doesn’t have it 100% right, because one of them is probably back loaded. Ortmeyer resign? What about Wallin? If we sign Wallin, do we ship out another d-man?

Front/back-loading doesn't mean a thing in regards to cap hits
Cap hits are the per/year average for the whole value of the contract.

I guess this is what Doug meant when he said he would have more announcements by the end of the week. Makes up losing one part of the foundation (Nabby) by retaining another part (Patty).
Now, here’s hoping Seto, Manny and Nichol City get contracts before the end of the month as well.

I’m a bit disappointed we didn’t sign Marleau to a longer and more cap friendly contract. I hope we don’t regret that, especially if Joe Thornton walks next year and Marleau’s numbers regress to those they were before he was regularly playing on Joe’s line.
But Pavs contract is a good one.
Fear the Fin - all Evgeni, all the time.
We could have said the same thing about Nabokov not long ago.

I don’t think so. Nabby didn’t walk, it was Doug’s decision.
by Josh Pearlstein on Jun 24, 2010 9:36 AM PDT up reply actions
Except that there is no way I think we’d have a viable replacement for Joe. Furthermore, assuming the cap doesn’t increase tremendously next year, he’ll probably sign for a bit less, maybe $7M. He took a very large discount on his last contract, so it would make sense for him to sign a contract at around Marleau’s value.
Yeah, I can see that happening...
I think Joe really loves it here in San Jose. And I think his skill set is one that would not decline with age so much. So, yeah, i could see him resigning next season at a lower cap hit and staying here the rest of his career as well.

Wilson doesn't like the front loaded contracts...
Neither do I, for that matter. So signing him longer would have probably been for more years of a similar cap hit. Do. Not. Want.
Besides, there’s no way Joe gets a raise next contract. His will probably go down. I figure we keep him.

Honestly, it's a bit more than I expected to give to Patty,
but a bit less than I expected Pavs to take so it balances out.
Now I guess can change my sig to some other type of club until 4 years from now.

agreed
I was hoping to max out at 6m for patty, but with Pavs only getting 4m, I can live with this. glad their both back in the fold. Both would have received better offers had we waited until 7/1.
Cain is Able ...
I started this offseason hoping for $6-6.5 for Patty
But the more we heard, the more numbers that were thrown out there by pundits, it seemed like higher would be necessary. I was getting especially worried about L.A., with the Lombardi connection and west coast locale—and all their cap room, which I think would have allowed them to go up to $7.5 for Patty. What a relief to have Patty back, and especially not in a Kings’ uni.
Imagine Patty in a different uniform. It would be so wrong.
Today is a good day!
Here's my twitter losers
Definitely a relief, and yes, he’s expensive, but I was worried about L.A. offering him more as well.
There’s no way I could see Patty in another jersey. Even wearing the team Canada jersey in the Olympics made me cringe… Well, that’s because it’s Canada.

Awesome news!
Wish Marleau had taken a hometown discount, but oh well, the cap is going up anyway.
If we’re resigning Seto, Malholtra, and Nichol though, how much money are we going to have to bring a top pairing D-man? Because we need one, as much as I love Murray, he is not a top pairing D-man.
That is my worry, too…that DW will settle for resigning Wallin, and that will be our blueline. Guess we will see.

by ZeroIndulgence on Jun 24, 2010 10:10 AM PDT up reply actions
My guess is...
Sharks will unload a contract, probably Ryane Clowe and maybe Torrey Mitchell as well.
Seto will sign for somewhere in the 3.0M neighborhood.
Manny for 1.5-2.0
Nichol for 1.0-1.5
That would leave, if my numbers are right, about 9.0M to sign a D-man + a goalie.

Nichol shouldn’t take anywhere near 1.5. 1 would be his ceiling.

I'm overestimating
for posterity sake. If we can get any of those guys for less than that, then its just gravy. I’m just saying even at THOSE numbers, if we drop Clowe, we’ll have 9.0+M
3.0 for Seto and 2.0M for Manny would be over twice what they last made.
by BillytheSid on Jun 24, 2010 10:30 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, those numbers actually look right on for manny and Seto…maybe a little low for Seto. Nichol is the only one that’s too high.

I would have thought 3.0M for Seto
would be low too, until Pavs just signed for 4.0M.
Pavs’ 4.0M kinda sets the value for Seto.
Pavs clearly is worth more than Seto, and thus their salaries would reflect that relative value. I figured Seto would get about 75% of what Pavs gets.
by BillytheSid on Jun 24, 2010 10:43 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, i only think 3 mil is a touch low. I could see 3.2. Although, if Clowe got 3.6, and I’d contend Seto is worth at least what Clowe is…we’ll see.

and 2 1/2 Jay Leaches!
but yeah, i wasn’t sure of their cap hits.
it depends on how things work out in goal and on the blue line and just how close we’re gonna be to the cap.
if i had my druthers i’d pick mitchell, but i wouldn’t be surprised to see him go either. I’m hesitant to keep Ferriero in San Jose full-time, I’m not sure he’s ready. I’d rather see someone like Vesce come up.
but again, I don’t know everyone’s cap hits and I’m not gonna look them up right now. also i’m not sure if Vesce would be suited for a 3rd/4th line role.
I love having Vesce in Worcester
But I’m not convinced he’s an NHL player.
His lack off size really scares me off of him being a 3rd/4th line guy, and I don’t think he’ll ever have the skills to be a top 6 player.

To be fair, if we were going to resign Marleau, this was probably the best cap number we could hope for. But I share your concerns about our ability to upgrade the blueline now…at least without trading someone (Clowe) away.

Marleau IS an elite player. He’s a bargain at $6.9M.

But he does deserve it though. Props
Eh...I'm going to go out on a limb
And say that he DID take a hometown discount. Marleau probably could have easily gotten 7.0-7.5M on the open market.

Agreed
Its one thing to take less then you could get on the open market which I think Marleau did however its another thing to take a pay cut, which I think asking Marleau to take would have been insulting.
Who’s gonna finish this off? I am going Boyle. - FML! No more OT Predictions from me!
Can we give Pavs at least an "A" and am I the only one who wants Patty to get his "C" back
rather than giving the C to Boyle?

I'd like to see that, but I feel that we've kind of passed a point-of-no-return by stripping him of it.

yeah it might be kinda’ awkward / weird to give Patty back the C, after having taken it away.
It’s just that it was like serious heartbreak for me when they took it away in the first place… :-/

I want to see Heatley with the C, but only because we have a game in Ottawa this season. That would be priceless.

that would be pretty funny… not sure that he’s C material, but the level of booing in Ottawa would be phenomenal

Patty won't wear the C for this team again
Not unless he suddenly becomes someone less awkward.
And there’s too many better candidates.

yeah that’s true, he’s really awkward-looking.
it was just so sad when they took it away from him

Saddest day of my hockey-fandom.
Besides the day that Patty was “traded to the Kings” for Heatley.

In my mind
Owen Nolan still has the C…

Yeah, he plays on my Fantasy Sharks team
Although, he has a “GM” on his jersey.

In NHL 2K10 I gave Patty the C. Pavs and Boyle got the A’s.

Detachable Penis is one of the greatest songs EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course I’d name my detachable penis something a bit more aggressive than “Brian.” Like Megalodon.

Great news!
I agree w/ the above posts that they’re a bit off than I thought
I thought 4.2 Pavs and 6.7 Marleau, but it balances it out. Great news and I hope there’s more! :D
Go Sharks!
mazel tov
I love the Pavs cap hit.
Patty’s cap hit is about $1 m more than I would’ve liked it, but we will soon forget it with the endless awkward Patty jokes for the next four years!

1 million more? You actually thought patty would sign for 5.9? Haha, you were going to be disappointed if that was actually the hope.

$6 million a year? One wonders what Patty would do with that extra cash.
Pavs signed for $4 million, right? I thought he would go for at least $4.5. $500k saved!

This day is an awesome day. I’m not concerned about their cap hits right now – Doug Wilson has proven time and time again that he is a genius and to never doubt him. But let me say that Pavelski’s contract is more than fair, and Marleau’s is a bit higher than I’d like, but since it’s shorter he can take a huge pay cut after it’s over since his skill level will likely decrease.
Just think – a little less than a year ago, I was freaking out in a not-so-good way with the “Marleau to the Kings” rumor. Ugh, that was a dark day. But now I am assured that both Pavelski and Marleau will be staying in teal, meaning that I can finally get that Pavelski jersey I’ve been wanting to for the past year.
I am proud that my two clubs (Don’t Trade Marleau and Re-Sign Marleau) have been successful. My newest club probably won’t work, but is surely a cause that everyone can get behind, haha.
