Patrick Marleau Traded To Pittsburgh

February 24, 2020 at 10:03 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 7 Comments

After spending the first 19 seasons of his NHL career with one organization, Patrick Marleau will now join his fourth in the past calendar year. The San Jose Sharks legend will be traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a third-round selection according to Pierre LeBrun on TSN, pending a trade call with the league. LeBrun adds on Twitter that the pick can become a second-round selection should the Penguins win the Stanley Cup.

Marleau, 40, was traded last summer from the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Carolina Hurricanes, only to be bought out and become an unrestricted free agent. After it looked like he might have a hard time finding work, his old team in San Jose ended up signing Marleau for one more go-round. In 58 games with the Sharks the veteran forward has ten goals and 20 points, but will bring his near 2000 NHL games played to the Penguins for one more shot at the Stanley Cup.

While he likely won’t be playing 20 minutes a night like he did earlier in his career, Marleau still has enough game left that he can give the Penguins’ bottom-six a different look. The team already added Jason Zucker to the group to skate next to Sidney Crosby, but still had some questions at the bottom of the lineup given their injuries.

Marleau never has lifted the silver chalice over his head, despite playing 191 playoff games in a long career. The iron man hasn’t missed a game due to injury in a decade.

    Why did you mention his injury free streak? For sure he’s going to be week to week with a lower body before the end of the month now…

      Third rounder but if the Pens win the Cup it turns into a 2nd rounder. I would give up a 2nd rounder if by getting Marleau means winning a Cup. Not saying it will happen but seams like an and even trade, a Cup for a 2nd rounder.

      @JDGoat – Might be as simple as giving him a shot at The Cup, then return in the off-season to break the games-played record as a Shark. A potential relative win-win for P.M. Just the other night, while listening to the SJS side, Roozy utters “and Marleau beats out the icing!” He’s still a wily vet.
