Wow that's a bit of a surprise, figured he'd go to a contender

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Makes sense for one year and will give some good habits to the younger guys like Korchinski

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nice

 

[FlameChampion]

Probably a good veteran add but this will be bloated like all of Davidsons deals

[Blackhawkswincup]

On one hand, 2014 still hurts!

On the other hand while old he still is good and is type of Dman you want with a kid and Hawks have plenty of kids on blueline

 

[Drumman44]

Now he can tell us whether or not he was offsides in 2014.

EDIT: Wait I'm misremembering. Martinez wast he overtime goal, I'm thinking of the tying goal in the third period from Gaborik.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Teams like this with alot of youth need guys like Martinez to help mentor the youth.

Good signing for Chicago and also nicely done by Martinez doing this. He's already a Cup winner so he has the ability to do this now

and flip him at the deadline with 50% retention for a 4th round pick.

He won his cups. Now he's looking for that Corey Perry money.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Other insiders when Bob shows up to work

 

[KingsHockey24]

Great fit.

Probably get a nice AAV that will pay him more than a contender but then can be retained on at the deadline to go to a contender
I wonder if he feels he's nearing retirement, too, with a one year deal
Didn't realize he's 36 already!

 

[HabsQC]

Gonna be a beast in fantasy for blocked shots

Didn’t McKenzie retire?

He scored the OT winner in 2014 WCF off of Nick Leddy

He did but comes back once a year for free agency.

All he's gotta do is be better than Jarred Tinordi to be a decent move, lol
