Done deal. Paul Martin has agreed to a four-year deal with the San Jose Sharks.

Good signing by the Sharks. Vlasic, Burns, Martin, Braun, Dillon is a good top 5.

Also mueller. Really solid D

Paul is happy.

Martin is coming off the best season of his career, IMO. Hate that he's in the West now.

I'm not enthused by any of their bottom 3 defenders. Beyond Vlasic and Burns, there really hasn't been any notable players on defense for them. Martin fills a HUGE hole on this team, especially if they continue to move Burns from defense to forward and back.

They still have one of the weaker defense groups in the West IMO.
