It would have to be for a defenseman. Martin would probably fit our system well. I would do it but I'd think we'd get comp'd for a cap dump.

In all honesty, if Martin is the best offer, I'd rather keep Gonchar, lose him for nothing as a free agent, and find a replacement in the UFA market.
With the cap ceiling expected to fall, we can find MUCH better value for $5mil on the open market than Paul Martin.
