SJ isn't taking back Marleau, even at 50% retained. They have a lot of pending FAs, including Pavelski, Thornton, Meier, Karlsson, and Labanc. If they acquire Marleau, then they'd likely be losing a better player to FA.
The long and short of it is, the Leafs signed Marleau to a bad contract (in terms in term), not to mention it was a 35+ deal. Teams aren't exactly going to be lining up to help out the Leafs, unless you pay a higher premium than just a late 1st.
