Martinez is exactly who I hope we're after aggressively.
And that STL package is worth the risk in a still trying to win now deal.

Martinez is my preferred guy too, I hope it's either 2yrs/5m AAV or 3yrs/4.5mAAV if he wants the extra year.

Put Gawdin or Phillips down there instead.

I think Sutter will want an experienced player to be the 4th line center given how much he values the middle of the ice.
I see Ritchie more as the 13th forward. Let the rookies fight for the last RW spot.
Gawdin I can see as a 4th liner. If Phillips makes it it'll be as a top 9 guy
I wouldn’t call Pitlick or Lucic “zero-offense”, Pitlick’s production in each of the last four seasons have been at a 10+ goal, 20+ point pace. Lucic would’ve had 35+ points over a full season last year
