-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 KINGS, MARTINEZ AVOID ARBITRATION WITH TWO-YEAR, $2.2M DEAL: The Los Angeles Kings have avoided arbitration with defenceman Alec Martinez. The two sides have agreed to a two-year contract worth an average annual value of $1.1 million. Martinez, 25, appeared in 27 games with the Kings in 2012-13, registering one goal and four assists. He was originally selected by the Kings in the fourth round (95th overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. In 142 career games with the Kings Martinez has scored 12 goals and 21 assists. Martinez played the last year of a two-year deal worth a total of $1.45 million in 2012-13. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=427751 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Comparable to Tanev? Martinez has the better offensive game, Tanev is superior defensively and is two years younger with room to improve... I've always thought Tanev will get a good chunk more than $1.1m, maybe $2m.

Blueberries Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Good signing for both sides. Get him at a good amount for only 2 years, and then pay him when he's reached his ceiling(around 3 million). Why cant more contracts be like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilly Canuck Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I hope Gillis is low-balling Tanev to Martinez/Muzzin's salary range, he needs to do something instead of making bad trades and handing out inflated contracts with NTC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
