Martin is pretty good when played in spurts. It’s when he’s treated as a starter that his play inevitably takes a turn for the worse. It also helps having the Canes defense I’m front of him. 

Looking at his career stats I occur with both of your points. He rises to the occasion when played sparingly with the Canes D in front. Martin is very good weapon to have!

The Hockey Guy, who if you follow him you know he’s watched basically every hockey game for the past 7 years, said last night Martin is not an every night type of guy. He never has been and probably never will be.

Yep!  I think we all know that. That’s why Koochie is the guy.  Koochie in 4 years could be the best goalie in hockey.

Player props following the Florida game.

Svech is a power forward in every sense. Anyone besides me notice his PIM are down and he's not taking as many dumb penalties at bad times?

Speaking of D, TDA is playing better, more disciplined and responsible hockey now that his playing time has been decreased. 

Orlov on his off side may be his strength. It certainly gives him more offensive opportunities. He muscled through several Panther players last night and make some key defensive plays.

Also props for the Panthers- Slavin was Slavin and Kotch stopped 45 of 45 SOG (now revised up from 44 SOG).

Now for a reality check- with all the post and bar hits and wide open net chances missed by both sides, this could have easily been a 3-2 game either way. Canes allowed 45 SOG and lost faceoffs 61% to 39%. You can’t do that and expect to beat a team in a series counting on any goalie to save you every time. Canes have to do better the next time they play the Panthers.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
