As predicted at the time of his signing, we didn't talk about Paul Martin much this season. For a defensive-defender, that's probably a compliment. He doesn't make flashy plays and certainly isn't likely to contribute much offensively, but if you key in on him in the defensive zone he's sure to impress.
Martin's zone entry disruption stands out as my favorite aspect of his game. When a Kings player attempts to gain the Sharks blue line on Martin's side of the ice, very rarely does he succeed without losing control of the puck. Martin perfected this play, which effectively sees the defender seal off the offensive player with a hip check while also using his stick to try to gain control of the puck.
