Commandant Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Martinsen can skate Martinsen can hit. His positional play, defensively is a train wreck. For such a big body, he doesn't win board battles. I don't see an NHL player in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether that was a Lefebvre thing or frustration over the fact he was a minor leaguer most of the year (or something else entirely).

Habs owned the 70's Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 On 6/6/2017 at 4:14 PM, Commandant said: Martinsen can skate Martinsen can hit. His positional play, defensively is a train wreck.

You can't teach athletic ability to skate or size to hit effectively but defensive positioning is a learned talent and he's still fairly young. He has the potential to be a serviceable 4th liner if this organization has the ability to get him there is another question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't get it by now, its not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
