copying my post from waiver thread

Here's the buyout calc. per CapFriendly

He had one year left @ 4.85M.

18/19 cap hit: 2.0M
19/20 cap hit: 1.4M

San Jose gets more relief as they push for Tavares/Kovalchuk/sign their RFAs push for other FA

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Sharks have 20.6 million in cap space with four forwards needed and a defenseman. They have Hertl, Tierney, and DeMelo as RFA's and the only UFA's they will probably talk to of their own is Thornton and Fehr.

SJ will have such a weird roster. Young but old too, quick but slow too.

soooo weird

So, weirdly balanced?

 

[Devilsrock17]

Paul Martin will probably go to the Ducks or back to the penguins

exactly

Also hope they can turn Kane to a 45 goals scorer with the leadership they have in the room

Can't really speak for the team, but I don't feel like we have any desire to get him back.

They can play any style and are ready for anything

He he looked super out of place on the Penguins, literally the sole smooth skating D the Pens couldn't make look far better than he actually was.

Welcome to San Jose, Mr. Tavares.

I'm pretty confident we end up with at least one of Tavares, Karlsson, Kovalchuk, or Carlson at this point.

Sure as hell won't be Karlsson after the Hoffman deal and how that went down.

Nah. Wilson will just trade with whoever pries Karlsson off Dorion's hands.

Karlsson will end up in Vegas to spite Wilson because of that deal, I'm almost certain of it. lol

Want NO WHERE near the Penguins, he would look like a Vespa scouter going up against a F1 race car out there in black and gold now. The dude has no speed what so ever. So 100% pass on Paul Martin.

Dorion probably didn't like that trade so he won't trade you Karlsson

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Whoever signs him will be very disappointed

Nice career though and was great for his first 2 years as a Shark.

We'll just pick Karlsson up via another team.

I admittedly haven't watched PM play in some time, except for the Cup Final two years ago. Can a Sharks poster give a little report on him please? Does he have enough left to contribute as a 3rd pairing D-man making ~2M, or is he flat out done? What happened to him, injuries?

Martin was a Ray Shero signing, and GMJR let him walk. I'm not sure there is any love or loyalty there. Ray Shero might actually kick the tires on him for NJ if anything, which is ironic because Martin left the Devils to come to the Pens after being angry about how NJ handled an injury he had.

Martin is done. He had some ankle injury to finish the 2016-17 season that he's never recovered from. He's lost enough of a step because of it that he can't keep up.

 

[ThatGuy22]

I'd bet a lot of money he ends up on the Wild at near league min. Wild have a need for a vet third pair LD/nacho duty.

I love Paul Martin.

But no. 10 years ago, yes. Which happened!

 

[Mattb124]

After an off season of rehab/strengthening his repaired ankle, he may make a serviceable 3rd pairing guy.

Came in here to say the same thing.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Martin is done, sadly. I would not reccomend any team sign him, except for teams that the Sharks could potentially play in the playoffs. Those teams can sign him.
