Confirmed with Link: TB claims Martel from PHI

[briererocks]

Watch Tampa will put him at RW, something will click, Danick will end up shooting more and before we know it, he’ll be a 25-30 goal scorer in the NHL.

I hope so . He deserves a chance and I hope the best for him. This organization never gave him a chance and instead played crap like vdv etc..

 

[captainpaxil]

Nhl speed beer league size. Theres talent there but i don't know that hes an nhl player. Tampa will find out

 

[hatcher]

Who cares he can't cut it in the bigs. Good move hexy.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I'm ok with it. Do the Flyers need 75 C prospects

 

[Flyotes]

Meh. Meh. Meh.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Losing Martel and keeping ghoul. I worry about this front office.

 

[baudib1]

Regardless of whether or not Martel pans out, the problem here is that the Flyers are certainly going to lose better players than Martel. They're going to have to sort through a lot of guys in the next few years, and they have to be better at it than this.

This exactly. I think there is some merit to slow cooking the non first rate prospects. But if they become waiver eligible before you feel confident about the answer one way or the other you have a problem.

 

[BillDineen]

Bright side, maybe Hextall feels LV needs a replacement vet to fill his spot and sends Weise down?

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Tampa’s probably the best organization at finding talent up front. They’ll be fine. They always have guys that surprise.

Better than be content going into the season with vandeveldes of the world.

Goul will eventually be sent down and have to pass through waivers too.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Goul will eventually be sent down and have to pass through waivers too.

But why is he still with the club? He's a scrub.

 

[Rebels57]

But why is he still with the club? He's a scrub.

Oh I agree. Trust me. I dont get anything thats happening.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Member the meltdown when Chris Porter got claimed?

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Tampa picks up a small, skilled guy who played in the Q?

Yup. See the Jets this year , most likely to lose Petan or Dano, and they are both better than Martel.

I don't think they'll lose sleep over losing Dano, who is already in his 3rd NHL franchise.

Chiarelli is definitely putting a claim on him. He is desperate to find a diamond in a rough.

 

[orangey]

Don't think he will be a NHL player for long (if at all) but we will see. Good for him if he can take advantage of this opportunity. It certainly wasn't going to happen here with the forward depth they have.

 

[Audible Velvet]

It's not sad, but I did like him a lot more than the dregs that remain.
He's far more fun to watch than say, Weise.

 

[Sawdalite]

This is actually the kind of problems you want... good Player selections and a deep Organization... Rules set up to allow Players to not be hopelessly buried in deep systems, and Cap and Waiver Rules in place to prevent stockpiling... Having more decent Players than open Slots.

Would you rather have him than a couple Veterans we are stuck with?... Certainly... but much better than having him easily fitted in the Roster due to a lack of quality depth in the System.

What's left is fine with me... and we have another Contract Slot to work with.

He’s pretty good tho for a bottom 6 role. Definitely a NHL player

Yep hurts phantoms that's all.

 

[Sawdalite]

True... but also opens up space there to work on a young Prospect who would otherwise be stuck in Reading or in and out in LV as a Scratch... System is deep and heading in correct direction.

 

[baudib1]

I do think it's a problem when a team like Tampa, which had the best record in the conference and led the league in goals scored, can see the value in Martel. Meanwhile, we have Ghoul and Knight still in camp and useless vets like Weise and Lehtera.
