not bad

for the first pair, I'd do Theo - Petro. That would be deadly and then you can do McNabb - Kulak

Buffalo has:
Dahlin Miller
Montour Risto
McCabe Jokiharju
Borgen

How does Martinez fit in?

Yeah Buffalo's D is actually pretty solid....................on paper anyway

Throw in another team then it doesn’t really matter they’re just a place holder

I like Martinez to Detroit with Nemeth going back with retention or Merrill (I know we just signed him). Gives Detroit - DeKeyser, Martinez, and Merrill/Nemeth on the left side with Staal being a healthy scratch. Martinez & Merrill/Nemeth being TDL bait.

Patches & Stone played really well with Stephenson from my viewings so I’d try them together and keep Wild Bill with Marchy and Smith. Let’s Glass & Tuch create offense from the third line.

Sure a placeholder would be nice but where do you see his 4 mil contract fitting in? He won’t be that easy to move

He’s a solid Top 4D. A team like Boston who needs a LHD would probably take him

True, but I’m pretty sure Boston is looking for someone younger and with term, Hanifin. All I’m saying it won’t be easy to move Alec. Also no need to grab another D. They have Hague who played 38 games last year and looked really good. And he’s cheap

I think they can move Martinez with ease. They may not get fair value but he only has one year left and can still be effective. Agreed on Hauge

You know who else could use martinez? Vegas

They’re over the cap. It’s probably the best way to get under

I'd be shocked if Winnipeg hasn't already sent multiple offers for Martinez the last few months. I think Vegas is trying every avenue to get rid of Fleury/Holden/Patches before they start cutting into their top 4

I get fleury and Holden but not patches. Dude was unreal last year. He’s a legit 30+ goal guy. They may be listening to offers but I don’t think they’re desperate to move him
