3 years is a little long, but he is a UFA and prove to be a good fit on the Sharks. I don't think Torres is as dirty of a player as some make him out to be. He constantly looked for the big hit and as a result a lot of those hits end up being questionable hits rather than clear headshots. Even on the Hossa hit, Torres left his skates but he pretty much just threw himself at Hossa rather than delivering a deliberate elbow or even shoulder to the head.
