Lately I've gotten the impression he's not well-liked around here. He's bad right now, but I'm one of the few that just doesn't see trading him (barring them going in the tank and having to shake things up). He IS an above average defenseman. If you want to win now you don't trade him you use him. I'll say it til I'm blue in the face: The worst thing that ever happened to this team's cap situation is feeling like they couldn't do without Letang. Obviously he's a good player, but they would've been better off him going somewhere else. That's just the way I feel.
Well, Letang's here. And Martin's not signed and showing signs of having one foot out the door on and off the ice.
Martin is going to be paid very close to what Letang's making right now. I think Letang can be an idiot, but I'd rather have him. He's just as good defensively when he's locked in like this past postseason. And is just a superior talent. He's also entering his prime and not leaving it like Martin.
