As much as it pains me to say it, Pavelski is my personal choice
In a recent thread about all time best playoff performers to never win a cup his name was brought up a few times. While Thornton and Marleau are seen as all time underperformers. All three guys had some great series and some awful series, but Thornton and Marleau were better players with harder deployment for most their time together.
Love Pavs though.

Completely disagree. There’s a reason Pavs has the playoff reputation he does, while Thornton and Marleau don’t. Pavs was also excellent defensively, so I’m not sure where your deployment thing comes from. The Hertl-Thornton-Pavelski line was arguably the best Sharks line of all time. Caved teams in possession-wise, and Pavs wasn’t a passenger on it.

My vote would be for Owen Nolan. A beloved figured in Sharks history, and I do miss the power forward era that he was a part of, but he basically had one great season and didn’t lead the team anywhere. Also took tons of dumb, selfish penalties.
