After his first season as a Penguin, many in the Pens fanbase complained vigorously about Paul Martin. Later on that prompted Ray Shero to say "If I listened to what everyone said, I might have traded Paul Martin." Good thing he didn't, because Paulie played his heart out for 5 years.
That all came to a sad and predictable end yesterday when he signed a 4-year contract with San Jose Sharks. Last night, my little kid cried and cried about #7 leaving, though I tried (and managed eventually) to distract her with getting excited about Phil Kessel.
