Marleau says no.

Johnsson already rejected 2.6 mill per from leafs

He rejected 2.6 over 4 years.

Perhaps. But San Jose seems unlikely so at least this allows his family to move back to SJ while he plays close by and gets more minutes for a rebuilding team. When Marleau signed two years ago, apparently he was deciding between TOR, SJ and LA so this isn't far-fetched.

yes it is. LA wasn't one of the worst teams in the league then. They are now.

1- Connor Brown value is about a 4th round pick, not a second.
2- You should keep Marleau over Dustin Brown, only one year remind on his contract.

Brown and Marleau, NMCs probably kills any deal. Though Brown has had a resurgence in the past two years, his previous four were poor. Thinks the Leafs would rather have one year of Marleau than three years of Brown. Plus the Leafs area loosing Kapanen too.
