NHL: Timo Meier wouldn’t be the first San Jose Sharks forward to notch a career-high in goals in a contract year
San Jose Sharks coach David Quinn never played in the NHL but can imagine the type of pressure a marquee player like Timo Meier might be under while they’re in a contract year.
In fact, the four best goal-scoring years in Sharks franchise history have come from players who were all about to enter – or were already in – contract years. Owen Nolan and Patrick Marleau are tied for second on the franchise list with 44 goal seasons in 1999-2000 and 2009-2010, respectively. After what would remain Nolan’s most prolific NHL season, he would go on to sign a five-year, $30 million deal in Oct. 2000 after a brief holdout.Stripped of the Sharks’ captaincy before the 2009-2010 season, Marleau was in the last year of a two-year, $12.6 million deal. But instead of spurning the Sharks the next offseason, Marleau signed a four-year, $27.
Pavelski had signed the contract in July 2013, a full season before his four-year, $16 million deal was going to expire. All Pavelski went on to do in 2013-14 was score 41 goals, setting a leadership tone in San Jose that would last for the next several seasons. Given his productivity over the last four-plus seasons from 2018 to today with 256 points, which ranked 43rd league-wide before Tuesday, Meier is in line for a significant raise over the $6 million average annual value of his current deal.
