Hartnell to St.Louis for St. Louis style BBQ
I'm not sure you know how good St. Louis style BBQ is. I mean - have you ever even tasted it??
Yea....so then why would they want Hartnell?
Retain 2 mil, take on Desharnais and I'll ship ya your boy Beaulieu.
Was just throwing MTL out there because the fanbase has, in the past, often thrown out interest in acquiring Hartnell...even if those offers were generally low-ball, bordering on absurdist, offers thrown out by Flyers fans immediately.
I think it also might have something to do with team construction and the lack of a true powerforward in prior years. That doesn't mean MTL still has that hole to fill, but it makes for an interesting case going forward.
I used to know a lot more about MTL team make up, but I'm since out of the loop.
Really though, Hartnell is useless here. He could definitely be useful elsewhere, but this is no longer the right team for him.

Hartnell is a much bigger asset to our club than many on here will ever realize........He will do the dirty work MOST will not do, and he is a much better passer than most will admit,,,,,,,I cannot count how many great passes he has made that folks failed to bury right in the slot .... I like our 2nd line with Harts on it .
Clearly Hartnell is being packaged with Mez for Pietrangelo.
Yes Simmonds,Mez and Hartnell for Pietrangelo amd Backes
Like Hartnell too but his is redundant with Simmonds on the team. It would be worth it to use his salary cap space on a different type of player.
E2 means he saw it written on a bathroom wall? lol
Yeah, god forbid you have two power forwards.
I am not opposed to trading Hartnell but people are ridiculous to say he has no value. Look at what Clowe got, look at the contracts Clarkson and Clowe got and neither produced close to Hartnell year in and year out. Teams work the phones for PFs at the trade deadline, especially guys that that can produce in the top 6 and on the PP. Plus, the guy has been a beast in the playoffs. Jeez, guys like Antropov had a market.
Hartnell's 37 goal season was an abberation but he has been a lock for 20-25 goals a season to go along with the sand paper and agitating. People act like he never scored a goal until he played with Jagr. He has scored 20+ with all types of centers. A playmaker like Giroux, a shooter like Carter & Briere, a two guy like Richards.
The Flyers are a small team up front as is so if they are trading Hartnell they better add speed&skill to beat teams because they will get ground down in a long series (assuming they make the palyoffs).
