Rumor: Blackhawks and Predators deal coming?

[AdamParrot]

Maybe Hartman + Rutta for 1st?

Preds may not have the "Star" names that TBL/PIT do but they have arguably the best depth throughout the lineup, and easily at D.

I could see them adding a guy like Hartman to beef up the bottom 6. In a long playoff run their bottom 6 could be the difference maker.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

what would Chicago be targeting for Hartman from the Preds???dman prospect Alexandre Carrier + type return?

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

What type of player is he? I assume he would be a long term replacement for Hartnell in the bottom 6 maybe. Didn't see the Preds trying to move on a 4th line solution on TDL day for sure...

 

[Lebowski]

Why are the Hawks even looking to move Hartman?

Third line winger. Can also play center. Gritty 20 goal scorer. Takes dumb penalties, but sticks up for his teammates and wears a shit eating grin whenever guys try to mess with him.

He can play spot duty in the top 6. Ideally a middle 6 scoring forward, plays with grit/physicality, and has a knack for getting under guys' skin. Can play any forward position. Would be good on the PP in front of the net. Expect him to be a perennial 35-50 point player, honestly. He's having a rough sophomore campaign, but put up 19 goals and 12 assists in 76GP last year in his rookie campaign. When utilized properly, he should be a 20g guy most years. Think... a far more talented Shaw.

Anisimov for sure.

I'm not sure. He isn't the root of our problems.

More offensively skilled Andrew Shaw, stupid penalties included.

Not sure, honestly. If Bowman is moving him, particularly to a divisional team, he must really like the return.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

weird that Chicago is rumored to move Hartman... I honestly don't get it

 

[SEALBound]

Hartman for Jarnkrok?

 

[ChiHawks10]

More offensively skilled Andrew Shaw, stupid penalties included.

He takes like 1/4 the stupid penalties Shaw does.

Q doesn't like his play.

Thanks. Still not convinced the Preds aren't just trying to drive the price up. Though driving the price up gets Chicago a better haul so maybe that doesn't make sense either.

lol no. Not even close from a Nashville perspective. I wouldn't trade Carrier for Hartman straight up, much less add to him.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

On flip side he goes to net just a fraction of times Shaw did

Maybe 1/100

That is component of Shaw's game Hawks badly miss. Hartman simply refuses to go to net and park his ass in front of goalie and pay price

 

[Soundgarden]

Hartman for Jarnkrok?

Hell no.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

He's got 58 PIMS in 57 games. Seems like half of them are in the O zone behind the play.

He might not be as bad as Shaw, but it's not that far off. He doesn't ever lose his shit like Shaw did though.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Hawks just getting on the ice for practice. Be interesting to see who isn't out there.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

lol no. Not even close from a Nashville perspective. I wouldn't trade Carrier for Hartman straight up, much less add to him.

im just trying to think of something that is a good return.. cause id have to think it would be a pretty damn good return for Hawks to move Hartman. We will see... its bizzare enough as it is that Chicago may move him

He might not be as bad as Shaw, but it's not that far off. He doesn't ever lose his **** like Shaw did though.

He also doesn't get suspended for super-questionable hits and being overly aggressive in that regard.

He's an agitator, so he's obviously going to take some dumb penalties from time to time trying to get opposing players to take one instead.

 

[Mortiest Morty]

Hartman for Jarnkrok?

Don't you see how that would be counter-productive to improving the Preds? Roster players aren't going out unless it's a very clear upgrade.

 

[AdamParrot]

Anisimov for sure.
