Marleau will make his season debut on Thursday.

Marleau was sitting, waiting for a contract before inking a one-year deal with the Sharks late last night. He was at Wednesday’s practice skating on the top line with Logan Couture and Timo Meier, so he could have some punt value in daily contests. He had 16 goals on 161 shots (9.9 SH%) and 21 assists (37 points) in 82 games a season ago.

The Hurricanes will buyout Patrick Marleau.

It was expected that Carolina would buy Marleau out after acquiring him from Toronto but GM Don Waddell confirmed it on Thursday.

The Carolina Hurricanes acquired Patrick Marleau, a conditional 2020 first-round pick and a 2020 seventh-round pick from the Maple Leafs for a 2020 sixth round pick.

Marleau has one-year left on his contract that carries a $6.25M cap-hit that the Maple Leafs wanted to move in order to clear space to sign restricted free agents Mitch Marner, Andreas Johansson and Kasperi Kapanen. Marleau has not missed a game since the 2009 season but had just 16 goals and 21 assists (37 points) in 2018-19. Carolina might buy the 39-year-old winger out.
