Regardless of whether this team finally gets it done in the postseason, Doug Wilson has a very interesting dilemma this offseason. Patrick Marleau is on pace for a career year heading into unrestricted free agency along with Evgeni Nabokov. Problem is, the Sharks have nearly no wiggle room under the cap with Pavelski and Setoguchi headed into restricted free agency. So if you're the Sharks, what do you do? Sign Marleau and Nabby and trade Seto and Pavelski, or keep the youngsters, replace Marleau with a kid in the system, and hope to God Greiss can shoulder the load next season?

Trading Clowe is another option.

If Nabby still wants $5m+ I think they should replace him and go after a guy like Dan Ellis. That should free up money for raises to Setoguchi and Pavelski, and re-signing Marleau shouldn't be too difficult, even if he pots 50 I don't think he'll command much more than what he's already making.
