He is an intriguing player, but as Diss has pointed out, he takes as many or more penalties as he draws.
Also, I think Huska's style is a tight defensive and disciplined game. Marty is a bit of a wildcard in that system - can't really play his game. Klapka fits much better IMO.
If packaging Marty with Ras gets us a potential #1C then we have to move him.

And while he agitates like Tkachuk, he's obviously not got Tkachuk's other attributes. Plus people forget that while Tkachuk got under other players' skins, sometimes they elevated their play because of him. Doughty had the last laugh playing against Tkachuk.
