Martinook is valued because of his presence in the locker room, and that he is a fan favorite. I mean, who would replace the screams of “Mista Svechnikov” before each game? Not to mention, he provides a lot of natural leadership, and is defensively responsible and plays a heavy game. You just don’t move glue guys like that, even when the fanbase gets frustrated when Rod throws the occasional curve ball with Martinook playing on the top line. It works to provide that spark, but frustrating nevertheless. Frankly, if Pesce for Nylander was ever going to happen, it would have happened at some point over the past 5-6 years. It hasn’t happened all this time, why would that change now? As for Robertson, he holds no value, and if the Canes want a lightning in a bottle prospect, they still have Rizzo in the system.
