Confirmed Trade: [MTL/COL] Sven Andrighetto for Andreas Martinsen

[lindroshomer]

Jesus, MB just can't get enough

Great trades, if this was the 1990's...but it's not and he's acquiring bottom line/pair "gritty" players when they need top 6 scoring, since last year.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Thats a horrible trade for Habs. Martinsen is not good. He is big, can hit but he is not a very good NHL player. Believe me, i have watched him alot because i am norwegian. I want him to be good because we need other players than Zuccarello in the NHL for the sport to grow in our country but Martinsen is the definition of a 4th liner who will never be more than a 4th liner.
If you want to run 4 lines, you cant have a player like Martinsen in your lineup. Just not good enough imo. I said before the season that if Avs are playing him regularly they have depth problems at forward position. Which they clearly have. Andrighetto can easily be a decent middle 6 forward going forward. No chance Martinsen can be anything close to that. Steal for Avs.

Love Ghetto, hope he finds success there

Talented but not strong enough. Has to play on your top 6 but it's not happening. I bet he won't be around at the end of next season. That being said, Avs didn't give much in return

 

[Agalloch]

Andrighetto wasn't coming back and there was history that Colorado wanted him couple years ago.

So ends the overrating of Andrighetto...

I had hopes for him, but he was never able to establish an identity. In 2013, in the Q playoffs, he was every bit as good as Drouin and MacKinnon. Not an exaggeration. He's demonstrated that he can produce in the AHL. He just can't put all together.

where is montreal going to put all of these guys

 

[wedge]

Happy for andrighetto. He'll get his chances. Martinsen... honestly, never heard of him before. 13 th forward at best?

 

[Bob Cole]

ok....

Andrighetto is not an NHL player

 

[TT1]

Someone got fleeced here... but I really have no idea who or why and I'll wager no one else does.

We easily lost this trade, Andrighetto will be a good player, heck hes already a good player.

That being said he did go through waivers and no one claimed him, always felt like he never got a chance to prove himself. Underrated player.

 

[Uber Coca]

Decent gamble for Colorado as Andrighetto still has potential as a top-9. Hasn't showed much though and I am not sure he has enough talent to overcome the obvious lack of hockey sense and size.

No idea about Martinsen.

We easily lost this trade, Andrighetto will be a good player, heck hes already a good player.

How can someone that follows the Habs conclude that Andrighetto is a good player? You guys are living in a parallel universe I swear.

 

[Fazkovsky]

whats the point of getting bigger but having less skills?

 

[Alex Jones]

ok....

Andrighetto is not an NHL player

Neither is Martinsen

 

[IslesNorway]

Seems a pretty pointless trade.

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

andrighetto sucks anyways

 

[EdAVSfan]

Bergevin is like a raccoon.

Dude can dumpster dive like a champ!

 

[Beige Van]

My god, does Bergevin ever love his marginal depth players.

As a NHL player, that describes Marc Bergevin to a tee.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

MB is winning at the deadline

 

[Alex Jones]

Martinsen is awful at hockey, but can throw some monster hits when he gets you lined up.

Talented yes, good player, nope! He had his chances and just couldn't contribute. Too bad the Habs couldn't get a pick for him instead or Martinsen. IMO, Sven is worth a 4th

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Bergevin giving Julien all the toughness he can find on short notice.

 

[McDrailers]

whats the point of getting bigger but having less skills?

Are you kidding, once Therrien sees this new lineup with all the "Gwit" he's going to have no choice but to sign a contract.

 

[Frank Drebin]

So ends the overrating of Andrighetto...

The guy who passed through waivers at the beginning of the season?

Hard worker. Too small for bottom 6

 

[Fazkovsky]

andrighetto is underrated i think avs fans will love him

we have a player development problem up here in montreal

andrighetto can produce given ice tipe. He is fast and can shoot

 

[Guardian17]

More 4th liners?
