Flyers don't think Hartnell is either. I prefer a 3rd line guy that can kill penalties and doesn't live in the box.

guess it is a system fit in their eyes. since the money is equal i'd rather have hartnell.

5 years vs 3 years

Yeah that doesn't mean too much to me. 1 vs. 3 ok.

Maybe they wanted to dump the most undisciplined player from the most undisciplined team. All year Berube said they need to stop with the penalties.

Could be, don't like taking an expensive third/fourth liner back.

Easier to turn 3 to 1 than 5 to 1

Hexy said he felt it was a lateral move but just kept bringing up flexibility in the future

Hartnell is already an expensive 3rd liner. It seems you really like him and he did have some great moments on the team. Berbue didn't, Hextall didn't. He was on the Flyers for 7 years and had a full NMC, it couldn't have been easy to convince Homer and Snider that he had to go. That is how bad of a fit he is for this team.

If they trade his crappy contract for a one year crappy contract sure. Doesn't appear that's what they are trying to do.

Didn't know we traded Rinaldo too.

Hartnell lead the team in minor penalties.

He had four more minors in more than double Rinaldo's ice time.

Rinaldo is the worst but I just ignored him since he is basically a goon that hopefully isn't on the team going forward.

Simmonds had 28 minors

clean it up

Oh dear lord.

thought they were rattling down the top 5

comparing him to zac in any way kinda proves the point. hartnell was a useless sack of shit, eating valuable minutes while not producing enough. his compete level would disappear for long stretches. just a mutt of a player and thankfully the new gm realized he's an anchor to any line he's on.

I can't believe a guy like Hartnell can get a NMC in the first place. Even crazier that a guy like him with a NMC would waive it to go to Columbus. Sheena must be withholding
