I don't believe that is true because it is coming from buffalo and he plays for the rangers. But if it is I'm glad because the Rangers are little FILTHBAGS and always get wat they want for example they get the Russian dude in the 17th pick and he was rated 5th overall.

Patrick Marleau has played LW in his career

Michalek-Thornton-Cheechoo

Marleau-Drury-Bernier

Clowe-Brown-Grier

Rissmiller-Goc-Pavelski

Pavelski could easily play on the second line, and the Sharks have some more promising young players creating lots of depth. I can see the sharks unloading a Bernier or someone similar to get a defenseman.

Sharks should trade Goc and Riss for picks or a D-man.

Have Brown or Mark Smith center the 4th line.

It confuses me too, but if they roll 3 lines, then it could be effective. Not so much of an offensive trio as Buffalo, but I think if they went

Michalek - Thornton - Cheechoo
Pavelski - Marleau - Bernier
Clowe - Drury - Grier
Brown - Goc - Rissmiller

that it could be pretty crazy. Top line is all out offense. Second line is size and speed, third line is a grinding defensive forward line that can also provide offense, and the 4th line is defense. Of course, I'd be looking to replace Rissmiller, because he's just not very good except at hitting people.

It's very possible Marleau is on the move, but there aren't many places Marleau could realistically go to. Which teams could fill the holes in San Jose's roster?

This makes no sense to me, unless Marleau is on the way out. Why would you want Drury to come in for big money and be a 3rd line centre? If they want Drury so bad, maybe Marleau is on the move.

Agreed. Gomez to Philly. Will git in with Gagne and they will make one hell of a dynamic duo.

I belive the Flyers have set their sites on Gomez. I think Drury would be the 2nd choice and Briere the 3rd.

Depends on what Edmonton may / may not have already pulled off according to some other rumors.

I don't think Grier is enough to make him want to go to SJ, the $$$$ signs and Grier might be why he would want to go there.
