AboutT. Martina Expertise I can answer questions concerning rules, plays, game tips, and the NHL. I cannot answer personal player stats questions for many players. Opinion questions are welcome.
Experience I have played the game for over 18 years at all different levels (house, travel, high school, etc.) Also, I am a highly experienced, knowledgeable, and registered USA Hockey Official, working most levels of hockey.
Question If you were the GM of an NHL team and you were able to pick any active player to start a franchise, who would you take and why?
Answer Hello,
My answer to this will be slightly biased because I am a Detroit Red Wings fan born and raised, but before I reveal my choice, I will admit freely that there are several players that would be the first pick to start a franchise... some teams have rebuilt theirs around these players already... of course I mean Crosby, Ovechkin, Kane, etc. For me, I would probably have to pick Henrik Zetterberg. Yeah he's a little older than the players mentioned above, but, he is the type of player that can be looked up to by anyone on the team, a true leader, an established Stanley Cup Champion, and just a talent on both ends of the ice. He's respected and yet respectful. Sort of reminds me of Steve Yzerman in a way.
