DW makes no splash = fire DW
DW makes splash = fire DW

Martin will be good here! Perhaps not a perfect fit, but it could be a lot worse.

Here comes the tears.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Love it.

 

[boylerroom]

awful signing... wtf 4 years for a 34 yrs old.... Yeah 3 yrs of an over 35 contract.

Here comes the tears.

I'm expecting salt, bruh.

Here comes the tears.

Tasty, tasty tears.

Here comes the tears.

First three, right out of the gate.

 

[Celly4Celebrini]

4.5x4 I'm guessing

 

[SactoShark]

Should be a good fit for about two of those four years.

 

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

Paul Martin Jones.

No. Depending on the cap hit, it can be a very good signing.

I could be wrong, but doesn't the 35+ thing only matter at the age they sign the contract?

I'm disappointed with four years, but I'll wait to see how much the cap hit is.

 

[Sharksrule04]

LOL this board is so funny...

 

[Irbes Mask]

I'm good with this. Keep it coming dw

Unless something has changed, over 35 contacts are only over 35 when they start at 35.

Hoping for under 4.5. He will be an excellent compliment for Burns on the second pairing.

 

[Bizz]

I hope it's under 4M AAV. If DW put himself out of the running for Green & Franson that'd be dumb.

But hey, this is our first July 1st signing since when, Rob Blake?

First three, right out of the gate.

I think this is a good move. Martin is good defensive defender. He will do well for this team. He's not flashy but very solid.

 

[SharksAddict]

4 years for a 34 year old...not great.

Would have preferred a guy with more offensive upside like Green or Franson. Seriously lacking in some offense from the back end outside of Burns.

I like the addition of Martin, but I'm not very pleased about the 4 years. However, I'll wait until I see the cap hit before judging the signing.
