Thornton and Marleau resign with SJ, 3 years each

According to ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun, Thornton will make $6.75 million a year and Marleau $6.66. Both were scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in July and will take slight pay cuts to stay with the Sharks.
Kevin Kurz of CSN Bay Area reports that Thornton wanted to wait for Marleau, who acted a his own agent, to agree to his own deal before signing one himself.
The signings lock up Marleau, Thornton, Brent Burns, Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski, and Marc-Edouard Vlasic through at least the 2016-17 season, according to CapGeek. Next up on Wilson's list will be a new deal for defenseman Dan Boyle, who can become a UFA in the summer.
You can argue that if the Sharks fall short of a Stanley Cup again this spring Wilson might want to blow things up, but his job is to ice a contending team and that's what he's built in San Jose. Now, if they do fail, it's on the general manager's shoulders.
