Martin Havlat wants to continue to ply his trade in Northern California.

The agent for the San Jose Sharks forward took to twitter to address the rampant trade rumors swirling around his oft-injured client.

The two-time All-Star has struggled since returning from a pelvis injury, and was a healthy scratch against Edmonton last week.

“For Marty, he’s now played seven games. He’s through his so-called exhibition season," Sharks head coach Todd McLellan said of Havlat's recent struggles. "We’ve talked a lot about being patient with him, and letting him play his way into shape, and his timing, and all that stuff. We’ve done that. Now, it’s about results.”
