It has been proven that in a war having armed forces doesn't prevent another country from firing a rocket into your country. However, having a strong armed forces can prevent a full-scale invasion and subsequent killing, raping, pillaging, etc. You don't lay down your weapons and hope a 3rd party will intervene on your behalf.
The beat down usually happens months after the fact. We need team toughness. A little grit ala Rychel on each line goes a long way. They need to be good at hockey though.
Between Naz, Leo, and Rychel, I think the team has enough sandpaper to go around each line.
I don't think this is team toughness in the "beat up the other teams bullies" way but in an actually tangible offensive way. I could see Dubas being the one who wants Martin. If they design the offense around strong puck possession centers (Kadri, Matthews, maybe Nylander), it makes sense to get guys in the upper echelon of hits per game who can establish possession more often than other wingers who might be better finishers. Having a Komarov clone on every line would be a goal I could see management trying to reach.
Anything over 2.5 is a travesty.
4 years 10 mil is what mckenzie just reported he's lookin around
That's a terrible deal for a 4th liner.
They're in free agency every year - ZERO reason to give them term.

LOL. Yeah, 2.5 million for 4 years. Terrible.
Why give a 4th liner 4 years of term?

Which one of these guys would you prefer to get hurt for the rest of the year after having a go with Lucic or Wilson or ??? I hope they've moved on from Phaneuf keeping the peace.
Why not? We won't be good until after 4 years at this pace. Who cares.
