Brady Martin's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - March 26th: "Martin never cuts corners. He only weighs 178 pounds, but plays much bigger than his listed size. He finishes all of his checks, battles in the trenches, drives to the net and makes life generally miserable for opponents."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - March 25th: "He plays hard, he plays in the guts of the ice, his effort level and physicality get among the highest grades in the draft and he stays involved in all three zones, constantly seeming to make things happen and have an impact on shifts and games. He’s strong on his feet and finishing checks."

Smaht Scouting - March 23rd: "Brady Martin projects as a dependable 3C at the NHL level, offering flashes of smart playmaking and strong puck protection, particularly when moving in straight lines. He’s comfortable threading passes through tight windows—often slipping pucks under sticks into the slot—and shows good puck security when handling pressure head-on through the neutral zone."

Joseph Aleong - FC Hockey - March 9th: "Martin is a high-energy forward whose physicality and puck skills reflect his competitive nature and intense style of play at both ends of the ice. The foundation of his game lies in his quick first steps and stride power, enabling him to win open-ice puck races and apply consistent pressure on opposing defenders."

Tony Ferrari - The Hockey News - February 28th: "He is an excellent forechecker who can crash and bang down low and retrieve pucks. Martin lacks the upper-end puck-transporting ability or dynamic ability to excel as a top-six center, but his physical play, puck-hounding and solid passing from a scrum could make him an excellent fit next to high-skill players who play with a bit more finesse."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - February 26th: "Knows what he is and is at his best when playing a simple, straight-line game with a dose of heaviness."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - February 21st: "Scouts love how Martin plays bigger than his size. He's not afraid to get involved at both ends of the ice, and he has great offensive instincts with vision and creativity with the puck. He's also a fan of hard work; when he's not playing hockey he's helping out on the family dairy farm, and built a gym for himself in one of the barns."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - February 21st: "The right-handed shot (6-0, 178) complements a power-forward type game with a great work ethic and intelligence in the offensive zone. He relishes play in the trenches and will make an impact in clutch situations."
