Hartnell just doesn't seem like a Hextall guy. Towards the end of the Rangers series he was playing on the 3rd line. I can't imagine what he will look like in 4 or 5 years.

Forsberg is a HOF

Lindros is not

Between the Hartnell trade and Lindros not getting in to the HOF, BSH is having a breakdown today.

Big deal. Dumb penalties, inability to finish, horrendous passer, getting older, horrendous contract. See ya Scottie. Thanks for little.

The deal is what it is, Hartnell isn't worth much.

The Flyers have/had too many guys who play the same game. Hartnell, Simmonds and B. Schenn are clones of each other.

3rd highest point total of his career. hartnell gets shit because his game is ugly. i don't mind moving his deal but i'm not going to pretend that this deal made the team better. same age, same contract for the next few years. hopefully they flip him.

Hartnell: I waived no-move after Hexy "hummed and hawed" about his role on Flyers. "I was upset, a little angry."

Hartnell said Kimmo is his "best buddy in hockey" and it was tough to leave, but he agreed to deal because he felt unwanted by Flyers.

No need to fret... He will be a king at the deadline.

I know it is a joke, but he is exactly the type of forward the Kings don't want on their team.

Does Lindros have an objective HOF case? Ie, are there comps in with crappier stats?

If this was the best they could do, I'd have rather they kept Hartnell and just tried to squeeze a couple more good years out of him. RJ Umberger was a third-line center when he was good, and now he's kinda shitty.

I realize you guys hate Hartnell and Hextall could have traded him for a bag of pucks with a 5m cap hit and you would've said "GREAT WORK CHAIRMAN", but I think this move is a bigger loss that you do.

Will be interested in the numbers as it seemed like it was a tough negotiation.

You do realize he scored 18 goals, 8 power play goals last year, playing on a much less talented line compared to Giroux and Voracek, right? He also killed penalties.

Hartnell had so many junk points just from being on the top line. Hartnell was demoted to the 3rd line during the playoffs.
