Is Martin the new Westerling? He wasn't received well when he signed but has proved (IMO) to be very skilful, very fast and can play on PP/PK. Every team needs at least one. Also a bit of a character!

He got a few comments about his low points output, but the Czech leagues are VERY defensive and plenty of low scoring games occur.
He’s a prime example of how Elite Prospects doesn’t define a player.

There's a strong argument to say that he has been the best, most consistent, of the new imports. Cracking player.

I really like him.
He reminds of a cross between Brent Bobick and Tyler Mosienko.
I’m sure he will continue to get even better.
Very good signing.

He didn't look very happy after that hit along the plexi when it dislodged his helmet, he look concussed, didn't appear for rest of game from what I could see..

This is what angers me when NONE of our players stepped up on that hit.
The days of Vial, Allison & even Fitzy are Long gone.

I sincerely hope not.
Latal is an excellent player, very skilled and accomplished skater, fully expect things to happen when he's on the ice, really good fit in the team.
Westerling was not.

I didn't get the hype for Westerling, I called him tge wasp, buzzed around but had little use.
