Lower than we want them to be, but higher than they should be.

And Terry Pegula does nothing. The world wonders.

Any conservative, who ever, under any circumstances, tells me they're pro life again, I'll ***** retort so much evidence you're just pro birth and frankly, I'll start with this. The Trump administration hates kids. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/05/nx-s1-5383871/trump-cuts-safe-sleep-sids-baby

Brady Martin ranks 10th here. I'll be tossing my current rankings now and re-doing them from scratch. I do this to avoid anchoring. What I've seen of Martin, he's got an NHL shot and he's smarter than your typical hits stuff guy. He's not dirty, he's just very skilled and using his body. The playmaking is fascinating to me and that's what's gonna make or break him as a top 6 center or a 3rd line 2way pk guy. Wheeler talks about Martin having a B and a C game to fall back on and I fully agree. I'm quickly warming up to Martin in the top 10. When I redo my board, there's a good chance he gets there. Anton Frondell ain't getting there though.

This man is nuts.

Marco Rossi might be available? Yes. Offer sheet his ass.

Was Tage named an Assistant Captain? I thought I saw that today but can't confirm it.

Ran the split on Martin between his first half (first 28games) and his second half (34 games including playoffs). First 28 games: 0.536gpg, 1.12ppg Final 34 games: 0.606, 1.32ppg Martin did score more points in the second half of his season but it isn't a massive upswing. It is good too see though.

Martin getting more love.

I'd toss Zeimer in there as well.

No one player changes a teams culture. You need multiple guys. Also, again caution on Martin. Let's not make him out to be some McDavid level or even Tkachuk level player. Let's under-sell a bit more than over.

Can't say yet. You're asking April questions that have June answers.

There's no real evidence moving down in the NHL draft is a good thing. Statistically it's not.

Idk, horse racing just isn't my thing

I'm cheering for titztastic

Just draft him where you are.

@JoeSchmoe is selling and I'm not opposed to buying. I just need to think it over first.

Martin could be a 70pt player. He's got the skills for it and the aggression but to answer your question, no I wouldn't guarantee anyone else other than Misa as a 70pt player. Someone will be, but that's open for debate who from the class. Interestingly, Martin plays a high event clever offensive game that would mesh well with Benson. I have a sneaky suspicions that those 2 would play off each other perfectly.

I like Martin and I'm not saying he's a 3rd liner but I think some of his offensive play will need modifications to transfer. His shot is heavy and he'll fire from anywhere. His pace is frantic and I think that's good but at the NHL level he'll need to apply it better. Also, EP has this: "Brady Martin has one gear, and it's the destroy the world gear." As always ep is awesome in their prospect coverage with their scouting reports.
