Thank God it wasn't the Leafs as previously rumored. And tbh he should end his career as an Islander anyways

 

[BLNY]

Deserves a lot of credit for forging out a 955-game career.

 

[RangersFan1994]

He is done, should hang them up.

 

[miscs75]

Solely to get him to 1000 games. He’d be alongside Josh Bailey otherwise.

Yeah seems like he wants to hit the 1000 and retire and I can't blame him.

 

[IslesNorway]

of course he did. It’s embarrassing.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Please no. It's time to move on.

 

[SCMURRAY]

Keep him around for a 14th forward, 20 games-ish. Just don't block someone else by giving him a contract

 

[TheGroceryStick]

PTO. So they unsure what he brings to the table ?

The credit goes to Louis Lamoriello for gifting him an extra 500 games than what he should have played

Of course not, they know what he brings.

There's a 23 man roster issue and injury issue. Martin ended playoffs hurt, let's see what he has.

I'd bet if we go through training camp healthy, he sticks around and practices but doesn't sign until there are more injuries. Say Engvall gets a broken ankle and Whalstrom breaks his shoulder for the 4th time, he'd be in.

 

[Breakers]

Wow, had no idea his games played was that high for what he brings

Thought he would be be in the low 700’s

 

[Khelandros]

How Martin managed to play 955 games is one of the great mysteries of our time.

0.18 points per game.

LOL okay.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Say Engvall gets a broken ankle and Whalstrom breaks his shoulder for the 4th time, he'd be in.

All in the pre season? Who the hell are the islanders playing, the flyers from the 70s?

 

[SEALBound]

Is this awkward? It feels awkward.

 

[57special]

You'd think Clutterbuck would get a PTO from someone. Maybe he just doesn't want to uproot himself and fam?

Wahlstrom might not even make it out of camp. Look at the cap situation. They’re over by about $900k.

 

[Isles72]

Whally needs to get waived just to get the cap down to 88

then

if they sign Martin to league min it would be at the expense of someone like Fasching or a darkhorse like Foudy / Karlstrom making the team

 

[The Nuge]

PTO. So they unsure what he brings to the table ?

Ya the previous 13 years playing there is clearly too small of sample. You’d think at this point you’d just either give him a contract or not. If he’s trying to earn a spot, you’d be better off going elsewhere

 

[Vitto79]

Exhibit A why the isles stink

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Happens.

I’d bet he hangs around but it’s good to have him around if that’s the plan

Exhibit A why the isles stink

Lmao

Yes the PTOs are why

 

[Vitto79]

Same team over and over
Lou is drunk
Move on already

The PTO is awkward for a guy who has played most of his career with the Isles.
