I think all of those deals are good return for Marleau and address San Jose's needs. If the deal goes down with the Jackets, I think that 19th will absolutely have to be a part of the package going the other direction.
Trades can't be made until after the finals are over, so look for Marleau to get dealt between then and June 20, which is the first day of the draft.

Of course we won't be the only party interested in obtaining Marleau's services. It will be interesting to see who also gets involved (Puck-rakers mentions Calgary, but I don't see how they can afford him with their commitments) and how aggressive Howson is willing to be.
I also don't think Marleau could be Howson's only transaction come draft day. Depending on what he gives up, the Jackets could have a number of assets, including the sixth, in play to land even more help.
At this point, though, I think its really going to have to be, as Howson has said, a special player to move out of sixth overall. The top six in this draft are supposed to be that good.
Exciting times. Lets get these playoffs over with already and move into this offseason!!
Discuss: Are you interested in Marleau? What would you be willing to give up for him?
