Player Discussion: Matt Martin

[PK Cronin]

Martin has a picture of him, Frans, and Weight at the beach on his Instagram today. I'd love to hear that conversation.

I'm late to post but love that MM is back. Brings back the toughness the team lost when he left. Also Casey and Cal have not been the same players since MM left. If we are going to get anything out of their contracts MM is the guy to try to do it.

I got my user name back! I hope he ends up with the team forever in some capacity.

You and me both. MM already does so much for the community it wouldn't be a stretch to see him continue that role for the Isles once he retires. Sort of like what Nystrom did for so many years.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Martin will be involved with this organization for decades to come.

He’ll be doing autograph signings with Steve Webb long after he retires.

We don't hate your fan base, we know there are a lot of good posters.

You don't spend enough time on the main boards then

I can’t see how anyone can complain about this trade. MacAdam was never going to be an Islander goalie. He’s an AHL goalie, at best.

It’s pretty much like we got Martin for free. The lineup got a great hitter and more passion into a soft lineup. I love this trade.

Martin, Clutterbuck and Komarov ALL finished in the top 5 in hits. Gonna be tough playing against the Isles.

Sometimes I can’t take my fellow Islander’s fans. If the Rangers or Devils landed Martin, you’d be complaining about that. I’ve ALREADY read comments (on twitter and on here) saying Lou Lamoriello sucks and he needs to go. Really ?

Agreed! Anyone on here who bashes LL already, should be ignored from now on lol. It's proof of lack of respect, lack of knowledge, etc. I for one am extremely happy that we have a front office that has won something. That is huge! JC, GS, etc have never won anything and cannot know what it takes. And apparently, Doug Weight learned nothing from winning a cup in Carolina with our former coach Laviolette

I look at it this way

Garth is toxic
Weight was in completely over his head. He spent a couple years as an assistant than moved into a HC role. He was basically an entry level employee asked to handle management stuff. It's not his fault what happened since he was thrown to the wolves by Snow.

I still remember that long drunken walk I would take to the train station after. Man that was always a brutal way to end the day.
