Marleau returns to the Sharks after he was traded away to Pittsburgh at last year's trade deadline. Marleau managed 22 points in 66 contests last year, but it's clear his offense is fading to non-viable levels for fantasy managers. The 41-year-old forward will likely fill a bottom-six role for the rebuilding Sharks in 2020-21, and he'll have a tough time reaching 20 points in the shortened season with a lackluster supporting cast around him. He also had just one power-play point last year, which further limits his scoring production. Most fantasy managers should avoid Marleau on draft day.
