Well he is just the kind of high energy player the Canes usually like, but after getting Puljujärvi it doesn't seem likely. I wouldn't really have seen him as an upgrade to the top two lines but more of getting some play off depth. He would be a really good upgrade on the third line in Martinooks place though.
How is Bertuzzi an upgrade over a guy who has almost 3 times more goals and costs less than half as much? I mean, if Detroit wants to retain half and sell him for a 4th rounder or something, then fine ... I guess.Well he is just the kind of high energy player the Canes usually like, but after getting Puljujärvi it doesn't seem likely.

We need to get insurance for deHaan and PP help. If deHaan holds up with his injury history and we can somehow have 2 fairly cohesive/consistent PP units, I really do think we are able to win a Cup. We are nothing to sneeze at now, but BOS and NYR can be our Achilles’ heal.

You don't think Bertuzzi is an upgrade over Martinook? Wow. You guys really live in a Martinook bubble.
Martinook has been great this season.
Where do you put Bertuzzi? If it’s not with Aho or KK, there is no reason to get him. And he’s nearly $3 million more than Martinook.
This year's version of Bertuzzi? You know, the current one? Nah. He's a bigger name but is producing less than half a point a game (again ... FOUR goals all season), has missed a ton of time and is currently ringing up a GSVA rating of around 1.4 which basically the same as Martinook's for the current season. This is not some sort of Martinook fan club thing. He's having a terrific season ... and Bertuzzi has been a ghost for most of this season. You want to disagree, that's fine ... but show me something from this season.
Yeah, and I don't think the front office is blind to that need. They've got SOME cover with LaJoie, but I think they'll make a low key move on D before the deadline. That said, deHaan has been playing his best hockey of the season over the last ten games or so. He's no dummy ... he knows he's got ice time to protect.

I just want to see the Rangers get bounced in the 1st round.

Martinook is a career 4th-liner who this season is playing with two really good defensive guys that would make most guys look good beside them. He hasn't somehow at the age of 30 became a much better hockey player than he was before.
Sure I too think that he has looked better than seasons before, and he has work ethics that are second to none. But please stop acting like he is more than what he is. There are plenty of players out there that would be better than Martinook on that line.
