from Mark Everson of the NY Post,
Martin’s sole focus is on returning to action, but inquiring minds want to know his thinking about July 1, when he can become an unrestricted free agent. So many Devils, once they reach this stage of their walk year, end up walking, complaining that they did not really receive early offers from New Jersey, even discounted ones.
“I’ve seen it go both ways. I’ve seen guys leave and be successful and I’ve seen guys leave and wish they’d stayed,” Martin said. “That’s just the way it works. You make the best decision you can with the knowledge you have.
“I’ve liked it here, with all the good experiences I’ve had. This season hasn’t been a good experience, but I’ve learned from it. I’ll put it behind me. In general, I’ve enjoyed it here, the guys are great, the team has had success and that helps.
“For me, I haven’t hoisted the Cup yet, so there are already teams that I wouldn’t even consider just for that fact that I want to win it. The team wins every year. It’s a comfortable thing—I’m here, I know the area.
“I like it here and that has a lot to do with it, but I’m sure there are other places I could play.”
