Sharks Fill Two Important Needs with Martin, Jones

San Jose Sharks general manager Doug Wilson talked about patience and how there still was plenty of time to build a roster for next season as he left the 2015 NHL Draft on Saturday without the goaltender or defenseman he was looking for.

Four days later he has both.

The Sharks signed 34-year-old defenseman Paul Martin to a four-year contract Wednesday.

Martin's signing came less than 24 hours after the Sharks acquired 25-year-old goalie Martin Jones to be their No. 1 goalie.

San Jose traded a first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft and forward prospect Sean Kuraly to the Boston Bruins for Jones.
