At the AHL level, this kid is a pepper pot. He is a gnat-sized pest who can score, irritate the heck out of his opponents, and will take nothing from nobody. His heart is way larger than his size. He is the kind of player you love to hate on the opposition but can easily fall in love with on your team. He is another of those couple of inches taller and twenty or so pounds heavier would be a full time NHLer that the Tampa Bay organization loves to bring in and have blossom. His overall play makes a fourth liner like Paquette nervous as what Martel lacks in size he has more than made up for with his scoring ability at the AHL level. Overall, TWO THUMBS UP for this one.
