Man, I never thought about SJ before. Not sure why but that would open some BIG cap space for them by not re-signing Nabokov. What would they trade though?? Rights to Marleau (with a chance to talk to him so they know that he'll sign) and a pick or a prospect? Marleau would be a fantastic addition to MTL, IMO. While he doesn't play an overly physical game he brings in some size that they are sorely lacking. Saving that 3 mil in cap space would allow SJ to give Pav his raise and sign a solid shutdown dman (Willie Mitchell?) for a decent price.
Hmmmmm.... interesting.
