To me it's more not a good deal not a bad deal it's just a deal sort of situation. Even if it ends up poorly it won't really hurt us.. and he has a chance to outplay that contract.Is $2 mil a good deal, tho?
He was already making 1.8 and wasn’t going to take a pay cut after this year. 2 seemed inevitable, to keep him anyways.Is $2 mil a good deal, tho?
Good for him. Miss him playing in AZ. Well deserved for him and his family
Considering the upcoming Ferland trade, Martinook is really the only consistently physical winger on the roster. Plus, he can be elevated to higher lines and has proved his worth as a solid 3rd liner and PKer. Good example for the young guys too, especially Svech.Is $2 mil a good deal, tho?
Seems a bit pricey for a 4th liner. Not a contract that will hurt Carolina though.
I didn't mean to imply that he was having a career year. I just thought $2m is a bit pricey for a 4th liner. Carolina isn't in a cap situation where that should effect them too much though.Martinook is not having a career year. He's on pace for 21 points and has scored 24 and 25 points in the past. Just a decent 4th liner who can play the PK and the Canes can overslot while they are being cheap.

Meh. That's ok, I guess for a 4th liner having a career year.
seems like a lot for a replacement level player... should give that money to ferland instead
2m isn't much, the cap is rising, and Carolina doesn't look to be in a binding cap situation. I think this is a good deal for them. Martinook is that kind of player that can fill in a 3rd line wing position if a player is injured or not playing well. He was a very good player for AZ and from what I've heard in Carolina he has been doing the same.
Probably is a small overpayment, but he's far too important in our locker room to not resign.It seems likely that Carolina has an internal cap, though, considering their overall strategy since Dundon bought the team. I guess I don't see much difference between Martinook and a guy like Hathaway or Lazar, for instance, certainly not enough for 2-3 times the salary. Believe the money could be allocated much more effectively in paying good players higher in the rotation
