16.5 million dollar contract with the Ottawa
Senators within 30 minutes after free agency
began, Pens' GM Ray Shero wasted no time moving
in a different direction.
Over the next 2 hours, Shero re-shaped the
Pittsburgh defense into one of the best in tbe
league, signing former New Jersey Devils
blueliner Paul Martin to a 5-year, 25 million
dollar deal, and former Phoenix Coyotes
defensive stalwart rearguard Zbynek Michalek
to a 5-year, 20 million dollar deal.
Failing the signing of defenseman Dan
Hamhuis -- which hasn't happened -- Martin
and Michalek were Shero's main targets, and
his aggressiveness at the outset of free
agency landed the Pens both. Great work by
Him.
More to come.
