Even tho it makes us a smaller team, it’s numbers off the books we need . I'm not he's a serviceable 2 way player with size that averages 0.46pts per season at minimum and up to 0.65 on a good year. He's not even really overpaid cap increase considering, you could maybe make a case for overpaid by 250k or so but nothing egregious. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it clearly stated that he was upset about the trade? Or could he be upset because of the situation overall? I am not quoting any source. It just feels like he may want to close this chapter after all the frustration https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjsqKS5n7qBAxXVDTQIHVXjCcIQglR6BAgcEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FDhaliwalSports%2Fstatus%2F1704254475257725006%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet&usg=AOvVaw3W17XyXXMmnfNbTAONjXRt&opi=89978449 where does it say he was unhappy here?

wai_lai416 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 3 hours ago, IBatch said: Martin was part of the problem last year, so was Demko early on. It wasn't just our trash defense. I absolutely agree with Halak. What's the guy supposed to do? Win his games 1-0 and 2-1 every time? Wasn't part of the Halak sucks train. We did needed to add a veteran NHL BACK-up. Not Martin, that experiment is over. DeSmith is a pro, and isn't 35. I've had a lot of core muscle injuries, none of them became an issue until my mid forties. DeSmith should be fine. The tank is over for now. I dunno iirc luongo had similar injury and wasn’t quite the same after that. Not 100% sure memory is a little foggy. Like I said I don’t mind the trade but it’s not a necessary must trade. 3rd round pick is not that big of a deal but a pick is a pick. Prolly could have waited a week into training camp to see what the players and other teams are up to before making this trade. Maybe a team comes knocking for Pearson for a 3rd or 4th due to injury. Maybe Casey is available thru waiver for free who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, if you look at roster requirements, and the fact we would have been 3 mil over cap, we would have had issues. We were 4.9 over the cap before poolman takes us to 2.4. Rathbone + 2 any forward combination would take us down to 0. The only benefit would be it’ll allow us to get under before sending poolman to ltir and then recalling players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. The Habaroonios could get a 5th rounder! They could add to that group of elite young talent they (don’t) have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade was very necessary. You don't send an already disgruntled player on waivers or the AHL after medical staff bungled his case. It's not a good PR situation. He deserves a chance to prove that he can still play albeit not on this team because we don't have room for him anymore. Martin is just trash plain and simple. There's a reason why the Avs let him go. He's a career AHLer. With DeSmith you have a capable backup. With Martin as backup we don't make the playoffs and lose Petey 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
