LaPoint has all the makings of being a great all-around defenseman.
He's a great passer, a smart shooter, and thinks the right way on defense. He knows that defense comes first with his position and keeps it his priority when playing offense. After he puts on weight, he will be a beast and his shot will get better than it already is. He is perfect at doing the 6-12 inch shot on net (and gets it there) which is perfect for tips and rebounds.
Marto is a great skater that can move the puck, and his passing is good, but needs to be more consistent. He gets too deep, too often when on offense and gets hung out to dry. He needs to be more physical (I don't mean that in terms of hitting people) by bodying up and moving people out of the way or holding them up along the boards. Marto has the potential to be pretty darn good, but will need time to take the rawness out of him. He'll come along.
