Marleau and Thornton sign 3 year extensions

[sr228]

Really good deals for both!

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Marleau's 3-year deal is worth $6.66 M a year AAV; Thornton's deal is $6.75 M a year AAV.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
"@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Marleau's 3-year deal is worth $6.66 M a year; Thornton's deal is $6.75 M a year."/SJ continues to get bang for buck.

Thornton's new deal also has a NMC (obviously), not sure about Marleau's yet.

Yeeesss. Exactly what I would have hoped to see for their contract amount and length. Considering how well they are both playing I couldn't be happier. I hope they both retire here!

#SJSharks sign Thornton and Marleau to three-year extensions. Cap hit for 19 is $6.75M; cap hit for 12 is $6.6M.

The only thing better than having Thornton and Marleau locked up for three more years is Marleau's $6.66mil cap hit. #numberofthebeast

Awesome deals.

Nothing will ruin this day.

Happy day in Sharks Land, for sure. Two great deals by DW. Less cap than all of us thought, and the perfect term.

Now we just need one silver trophy to cap it all off.

[SHAR KS]

Awesome!

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

They probably would have get more $ in the UFA market, great for you guys.

 

[YoungSinatra]

Dominoes!! Lol love it

 

[RammsteinGT]

This is brilliant cap management by DW and a commitment to win from the guys themselves.

By my calculations, we'll have ~$12M next year to re-sign the likes of Demers, Wingels, Stalock (who would get raises) and Boyle (who'd get a paycut) to field a full 21-man roster. And that's assuming that we let Havlat stick around!

#SJSharks Thornton’s deal has been done for some time. Wanted to wait until Marleau’s was done before signing his own
