Lars Eller.
Much like Hemsky, I would like to know what is Martin's full potential. I'm amazed that at only 22 years old, he's nearly a PPG player.

espion said:Well if he were to reach his FULL potential, he could turn out to be a perenial all-star and selke winner. For a young player he really understands the importance of the defensive aspect of the game and is well rounded. He is not and will not become an ultra-dominant front line offensive sniper (as say Hossa will be), but he can produce and be very reliable in all facets of the game.
Say a game similar to Lehtinen's but with a flashier offensive output like that of Satan's during the last couple of years.
Big Bill said:I thought he was not great on d and that is what the coaches are trying to teach him while he is young and he is improving. I thought his greatness was in his breathtaking moves and offensive arsenal.
gbl1p said:Thats the Havlat I know. Havlat has been quoted as to suggest that he's not/won't be a defensive-minded player and wishes the NHL would open up to let guys like him blossom. Though he's been trained by the coaching staff to cover his ass, he will always be an offensive/finesse specialist. He has the wheels to backcheck and does so competently when he tries, but Havlat is sometimes prone to float around looking for the long outlet pass. A defensive breakdown for Havlat would simply be where he's too lazy to cover his man, instead caught looking for a high-risk turnover. That said, some of his 1 on 1 moves are spectacular, as Havlat owns the softest hands on the team, save for Spezza. He is not a shooter and scores most of his goals from within the mayors office. He has the ability to dangle the puck and go in, or piece together passes that no one in the building could have seen. Would expect Havlat to be a perenial 75'ish point player, with hamstring injuries a 65'ish point player. Upside would be one of the leagues best playmakers at 90+ points.
