[Signing] Sharks sign Thornton (3yrs, $6.75M AAV) and Marleau (3yrs, $6.66M AAV) to extensions

[Fire]

Reasonable dollar amount and length. Surprised Thornton and Marleau couldn't get negotiate longer deals.

Spitting my beer through nose on that one!

Yes, I'm drinking beer at 2:30 in the afternoon - It's Friday and a game day.

They probably could have got longer terms if they hit the market but San Jose is one of the best markets to play in and I imagine the Sharks had some leverage in these negotiations knowing both players would prefer to stay there.

Great. Thornton and Marleau cannot spell the word intensity. Game never elevates which is why San Jose will never win anything.

Extremely good contracts for those two. I'm impressed

Told Joe Thorntons deal with the Sharks was agreed to a while back...wouldn't sign unless Marleau was re-signing as well #sjsharks

Smart.
