Thread: Alec Martinez to IR Campbell called up

He may have started out with more mobility, but in his time with Manchester he never demonstrated comparable offensive skills or creative instincts to Martinez.
His style really had become more conservative, whether due to injuries or a difficult transition to the pro game.

FWIW
From JonRosen in his comments section regarding Amart

The team is off today; we’ll likely gain a better perspective of Martinez’s injury at tomorrow’s practice. Teams rarely report anything more than upper/middle/lower body injury immediately after it occurs, so unless a player or coach opts for more specifics, it’s all we’ll have for now.

What big hard nosed d'men are available? Jaybo? Phaneuf?

I will give you big for Bouwmeester, and perhaps he has a hard nose, but isnt he considered kinda soft? For their contracts, I dont think Lombardi wants either

I bet you DL would consider Phaneuf more than Bouwmeester right now, especially if he's thinking about how to replace Willie Mitchell long term.

Dion seems like a douche, but he does compete.
