After a hot start with several multi-point games in the preseason and early season, Marton regressed to finish with nearly the league average in most stats. After earning a lot of 2nd line minutes, he hoped to show up on the stat sheet more effectively, but was held back by the bad luck that plagued Carolina all season, as well as his own lack of focus in transitioning to the North American rink and the level of play in the J. Hard to describe the on-ice product this season as anything but a disappointment, but the off-ice element has been the exact opposite, with a huge welcome in Carolina and a great LR pushing everyone to grow.
