It’s time for him to play NHL games.

 

[sansabri]

Any relation to The Model Rick Martel??

 

[Deadpool8812]

meh

 

[God King Fudge]

Anyone with some input on this guy?

 

[DFC]

Looks like a good AHL scorer. Probably a sign we're going to keep some rookies on the main roster and need scoring down there.

Marty St-Louis 2.0

Marty St-Louis 2.0

Just like Cory Conacher, eh?

He'd need to clear waivers to play for Tampa's AHL team

We chance that a lot.

The real MSL 2.0 was, and is, Jonathan Marchessault.

If you try to demote him, he automatically goes back to PHI property

Pretty lethal shot...

Well then. This isn't a good sign.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Seems like an odd claim, does TB have injuries or disappointing guys at camp?

 

[BHD]

Well, expect his name to be mentioned 100% less on NHL Radio now.

 

[CupInSIX]

The real MSL 2.0 was, and is, Jonathan Marchessault.

It's surprising how rare this comparison gets made, but he very well could be anywhere from a poor man's MSL to almost as great.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Well then. This isn't a good sign.

Actually, I think it's if it's before 30 days after claiming him. Meaning, you can't just claim him and demote him for your AHL roster right away. He needs to stay on TB's roster for a certain amount of time

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

And yet again, another French-Canadian underdog who gets an opportunity to proves a lot of people wrongs thanks to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Bonne chance Danick!

No he doesn’t he goes back on waivers and philly has a chance to claim him again. If no other nhl teamplaces a claim along with philly, they are able to directly send him to the ahl.

 

[CapnZin]

This is someone who’s a borderline NHL Player. He’s a good waiver pick up.

He’s extremely undersized, but plays a grittier game. He isn’t necessarily afraid to drop his gloves or go to the net. Very speedy, decent back check, but leaves a lot to be desired defensively. His shot is good which is a direct corrleation to the energy he brings in the Ozone. His best offensive attribute in his wrist shot. It’s nothijg spectacular. His slap shot is kind of soft with not much accuracy. His wrist shot is NHL B6 caliber.

He needs to get stronger. Board play is meh/okay. His size is what hurts in in 1-1. Martel needs to get around the defender in order to make something happen. He’s most effective in open space.

Good pick up. He plays well with better players, again, because they create open space. He could see time in the NHL.

I'm pretty sure PHI gets first dibs though

 

[Crunchrulz]

Smallish players do not seem to be a problem with the Tampa Bay organization. Will be interesting to see where he plays.

That's wrong. Order of priority is last regular season's standings. PHI doesn't get any preferential treatment.

 

[Juicy Pop]

The Phantoms will be unhappy but it's doubtful that he would have been anything more than a 4th liner in the NHL.
