I still think he's better than Steel by a long shot, AND he has proven that he can produce when on that line. I do think that Steel is improving...he's one of those tweeners who isn't gritty enuf to be a 4th liner, not skilled enough to be a top 6 'er. He can be a mediocre 3rd liner.... on another team.
He tries hard, has some speed, some skill, but just not enough to make a difference.
Hartman can do dumb things, take bad penalties, but he is far stronger and tougher than Steel, wins board battles, has a good shot, and no shame about using it. Zucc and Kap can work with that, in the absence of anything better, especially if he is watching their backs in the corners, not that they seem to need it. Steel is a creampuff.
