Maybe he will end in Long Island for a cup of coffee at end of year, who knows but no pressure and let the kid develop!!! ____ He Sounds like a good kid with a bright future, im doing some reading on him and it looks like he could be a gritty tough 3rd-possible 2nd line player with toughness/leadership and intangables who might chip in 15-20-25 goals a season..

I think if any young big makes the team, it is going to be JJ. Remember JJ has a full year of playing in the system, which gives him a huge edge over MM. I think he has a great chance to be a call-up, and possibly have his metropass for the Bridgeport Shuttle be regularly punched.

I am now a NYI fan because of Matt. Matt reminds me of Lucic BIG TIME and we all know what Lucic did to my Habs last year. I hope you guys enjoy him as a player. scott hebert Like i said i have had the pleasure of watching Matt play for many seasons with my son in minor hockey, i have watched him win scoring titles year after year in his home center.

Give it a rest about wanting the no talent enforcers you guys want. Talent/skill first, add skilled size yes, but wanting players JUST because they are big or can fight? Please. Detroit, Pittsburgh and others who have maintained excellence did it with skill first and some role players with size layer. Some of you would have loved signing 4th liners like Brashear and Orr, but where would they play? Not with Jt or KO... On a 4th line!! You would have enjoyed standing up and screaming during their occassional fights but this would not make us better. Let's not use up our cap room on the crap available. Let the kids develop see what we have in Martin, joenssu and hamonic, then make those filler decisions. Tavares (#43). Give it a rest about wanting the no talent enforcers you guys want.

I'd be SHOCKED if he made the club out of camp though. If it's size that the Isles want, then Joensuu has to get the first crack. Frankly I think if Joensuu has a good camp then he's going to make the team. Size really is needed on this squad. I think we'll see Martin at some point this year, but it won't be in October.
