He fired off a few heavy shots from the point that created opportunities as well!

I'm not going to dig through three years worth of Hartley interview videos that might no longer be online to find sources for three different claims. Either you can take me at my word, or accuse me of being a liar putting words in Hartley's mouth. I wouldn't say it if he hadn't said it.
So much incorrect nonsense is posted on forums that if someone can't or won't back up with a source what he claims someone said, there's no reason to accept it.

I actually do recall him saying that about Ferland. He was talking about his potential and how he needs to play. He also referenced his skating and shot as being among the best on team. I credit Hartley with a lot of Ferland’s development, I think he spent a lot of time with him working on the person he is as much as on the ice.

I recall the Hartley quote on Ferland (Hrudey and Ball actually mentioned this during the Montreal game on Thursday), it was something along the line that he can be an allstar in this league, however I don't remember any of the other quotes.
Ah, I misunderstood then. I thought he claimed Ferland was currently an all-star.

Spot on with Ferland as an All-Star?
he doesn't look close to an All-Star or developing into one.
Also did he say "poor mans" in front of Forsberg and Sakic because if not he was dead wrong on both of those as well. And if the Gaudreau-Drury comparison was made looks like he is 0 for 4.

I don’t think the word poor mans needs to be in front of Forsberg and Sakic. Most people can take and draw the conclusion that a comparison is just that. Or maybe they can’t, because I got so much flack I’m here for dropping the #99 one to Gaudreau before he turned pro.
My point still stands though, a style of play is the main point of reference.

I've always thought Monahan was more of a Sakic than a Toews as far as play style goes. Don't like the Gaudreau/Forsberg comparison though.

I get why you would say that, but I think Sakic was more dynamic. I know most will not remember this player, but I think Dale Hawerchuk is a real good comparable for Monahan. One of the more quiet stars of his time and a consistent goal scorer.

Well damn, now I'm convinced.
I'm sure Hartley was as excited as you about the potential of some of these young guys. Those comparisons are a bit much though.

I'll play a long too...he is a goal scorer. Most of his assists come from the puck bouncing off his ass

As much as I am loathe to agree with OKG ( 
) I do remember that particular comparison. He said something along the lines of "Bennett can become that big bodied, hard nosed skilled player, like Forsberg".

/\ Saying that, isn't saying "Bennett will be Forsberg" and adding some context certainly helps.

No no no. Valimaki Sushi has pointed out he would be a LW since he's a LHS
Sure, but I think OKG has a tendency to never fully flesh out things contextually that people love to jump all over, both on this board and the main boards.
