Dallas got shafted hardcore by refs so guess they want a bit more grit? When Bishop is getting slashed in back but nobody calls a penalty? Then their rookie goalie starts some crap without a call? Blues are a dirty team, I'll never forget how they ran Storr ending his career not long after that... When Kings were up 3-0, yet Blues get a 5 minute PP they score like 3-4 goals against a concussed goalie... Since Kings get a major for O'donnel beating on guy who ran goalie on purpose in his own crease
? NO wonder why NHL cap didn't even hit 82M when sham Blues win it... Bishop deserved VEzina if anything or Lehner but that is life... I really wish it was Sharks vs. Stars in WCF, SCF was trash, St. L Bores or Boors depending who ask
. CApitals were another team whose system was so boring they fired their coach knowing they would be bankrupt if they kept it
. I think Dallas wins but I'm probably wrong like most who voted

Apparently the Stars have not issued Hartman a Qualifying Offer, so unless he is signed by them Jul 1 he is a UFA anyways. The trade makes even less sense - and Hartman would be cast off by 4 franchises in under a year - for a guy that seems to be well-liked there’s something to be said there.

9:00am Hartman walks into the GM’s office
Fletcher: (lying on couch) “Ryan, thanks for coming. So I had a late night - I don’t remember most of it after the jacuzzi and strippers, but apparently I signed Kevin Hayes to a contract for over $7M a year. I’m sorry but someone has to go. We consulted a ouiji board and it was you”
Hartman: (mouth agape in shock) “okaaaaay”?

This is a better deal for Dallas as I'm not sure if they were even going to qualify Pitlick and they get Hartman back for him. Hartman has bounced around over the last 2 years though. Hope Hartman can stick in DAL. IMO, Dallas won this one

Good for Dallas as long as they don't pay him over 2.5 million per season. He still isn't proven.

Struggling to sign RFAs under the cap after adding veteran D and 2C that stressed our cap situation.

What is Fletcher doing? Hartman cost NSH almost a 1st rd pick not that long ago, then gets moved for Simmonds. Nothing against Pitlick, but i don't see the value here.

Wth are the Flyers doing?

Hartman is better.

I don't like Hartman but Dallas wins anyway. He's the better player IMO.

This hurts. Liked Hartman as a solid depth piece. Has some skill and can hit. Fine on the 3rd line; if he's on your 4th it's because you are stacked at wing. Doesn't disappear for long stretches out there like some other guys. Grats Dallas.
P.S. Niskanen and Braun better be worth it.

Personally, I would've kept him at $2.5M AAV. You need physicality and grit in the playoffs. Just ask STL.

Flyers are on a spending spree but they don't want to resign Hartman, or he wants too much.
4th team in 16 months.

i'm guessing that Philly is going to miss the points that Simmonds scored, their not missing his $$$. I guess they didn't like Hartman and sent him on his way.

Loved is a stretch. Philly like any 4th liner who hits hard
Quoting: AwesomeMatthews
Big lose for philly why try Hartman he is beloved by all fans their and Pitlick is not even as good as Hartman
Quoting: campdemamp
Surely Hartman was asking for 2.5-3mil? Fletch is a busy man. You asked for action Philly you're getting it.
Quoting: WellIDK
It all depends on the cap hit of the Hartman extension. He's the better player but that cap hit of Pitlick is pretty good
Quoting: EmperorFun
Hartman doesn't command a huge deal, but free agency is always weird. Seems fine for both teams here, I suppose.
