We wrote earlier this week how San Jose Sharks forward Patrick Marleau gave a pretty bignon-answer when asked if he could envision a scenario where he would waive his no-trade clause. He brushed off the rumors, but recent reports suggest he would accept a trade to three certain teams.
“The New York Rangers, Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings would all be locations that the Sharks’ all-time leading scorer would deem acceptable,” writes Kevin Kurz of Comcast Sportsnet, who says he got the insight from an NHL source.
