I have no idea if Marleau would be willing to waive his NTC but if he puts up similar numbers as this year (27 goals, 20assists) and if he is on a line with say Tavares and Marner I think he could easily, there will be teams willingnto take him for one year.
He is old but is still veey fast and in great shape and good defensively.
His contract is insanely front loaded. In jis finals season after Leafs pay out 3 mill signing bonus his actual paid out money is only 1.25 million. So a team could trade for him get a 6.5 cap hit but oy have to pay 1.25 in actual.money. LOL if you think a team like Ottawa wouldnt like to have a player like that 50 points for one year at 1 million.
There was always speculation aboutnthe final year of the contract. The way it is designed it seems like there is an agreement a trade would happen but Marleau gets full control over where he goes. Thats all specualtion thouh.
