How Ex Toronto Maple Leafs Did on Different Teams in 2019-20

Patrick Marleau

Patrick Marleau was originally signed to a three year, $18.75 million contract back in July 2017 but was traded away to clear cap space for guys like Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and others for the Leafs to stay within the limit.

He was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes along with a first round pick (13th overall/Seth Jarvis) in the past draft along with a seventh rounder (Alexander Pashin) for a sixth round selection (Axel Rindell).

He ended up being bought out by the Hurricanes and returned to his longtime team in the San Jose Sharks on a one year deal.

In 2018-19 with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Marleau appeared in every single game scoring 16 goals with 21 assists while averaging 16:21 a game. He got 10 points on the powerplay and took 161 shots on net (all stats hockeyreference.com).

This past season with the Sharks and Pittsburgh Penguins which he was traded to at the deadline, he appeared in 66 games with 11 goals and assists apiece but only one point came on the man advantage. In total, he took 117 shots and averaged 15:35 a night.

He did better in Toronto than he did with the Sharks and Penguins but what Marleau is really going for is the record for the most games played. He is 45 games short of surpassing a legend in Gordie Howe which he will hope to do in the upcoming season with the Sharks as he signed a one year deal with them this offseason.
