Confirmed with Link: Hartman and 5th to Preds for Ejdsell, 1st and 4th

[Armourboy]

Well had a big post wrote out but this site, yeah sorry, don't like the trade, don't like the player, I don't care how many years he has left.

 

[FilthyScoresberg]

I like the trade, and think he takes Hartnell’s spot. Salomaki scratched, and Hartnell in his place on the fourth line with Fish and Sissons.
Deeeeeep deep team.

 

[Drake744]

I really hope Hartman's nickname isn't Hartsy or we're gonna have a problem.

 

[Scoresberg]

You don't mess with the 3rd line at least for now. Hartman/Watson - Fisher - Sissons is a great 4th line and a complete bitch to play against.

This from a writer I know in Chicago:

"You’re gonna love him! He’s an agitator that really knows how to under people’s skin. And he has skill on top of it. Hard worker, physical. Damn it! If he wins a Cup with you guys I’m gonna be p*ss*d!"

Well going into the playoffs, you need a deep roster as we learned last year it's not a matter of if our players will get injured but when. Don't know if it's worth the amount we gave up but I guess this at least adds depth to our roster if our players get injured.

 

[Gnashville]

I am guessing Poile really doesn’t like this year’s draft. What picks does he have left?

It is. At least that's what Q always called him.

3rd
Two 5ths
7th

 

[Scoresberg]

Pretty much all-in in the Rinne-era.

 

[Prins Filip]

Last year's playoff run, expansion draft and hunt for 2nd line center forced Poile to switch off from his summer routines drastically. Now he is making sure he has almost no workload for the summer so that he can finally relax for a while.

 

[Gnashville]

3rd
Two 5ths
7th

Yikes!!

Hartman goes from worst to first in the division

 

[GoldOnGold]

I wish we hadn't given up Edjsell, although I like the return.

I think Hartman is supposed to be a long-term replacement for Hartnell on the 3rd.

 

[triggrman]

Depth.

Do you guys remember all the injuries in the playoffs

 

[PredsV82]

We got a 4th for Aberg so did we send our 4th or Columbus 4th to Chicago? Either way we still have one 4th

 

[Aardvarksson]

In poile we trust

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Added:

- Fisher
- Hartman
- Tolvanen*
- 5th round pick

Lost:
- 1st
- 4th
- Edjsell
- Aberg

Look at it how you want I guess.

It's Hartman and a 5th for a 1st, 4th, Edjsell and Aberg. You can't count Fisher and Tolvanen in gained assets compared to what were given up because we didn't have to give anything up to get them. ​

We traded the Columbus fourth in this deal I believe. We traded our forth already.
We have a third, 2 fifths and a seventh in this coming draft.

 

[maplepred]

Patrick maroon went for a prospect and a third.
We paid a first fourth and prospect for Hartman.

Not a fan of maroon but still

 

[LCPreds]

Relative to the start of the season we've also added Turris. I feel good with our team going into the playoffs. I also like the fact that once again we're not in the middle of trying to work in high end new players into our system weeks prior to the playoffs.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Hm. I like Hartman ok, and I can see him as a long-term-ish replacement for what we want/wanted Hartnell to be this year. He's like a younger version with more juice in him. I don't see that we needed him all that much this year, but they can try to sign him cheap, or do one of those magical longer term deals and keep him around for the extended run at contention. I think that's what this is about. They're making an extended run, they know it, and he's a young, retainable, affordable guy who is basically a perfect fit in his own role. He's like a puzzle piece that fits nicely to needs, cap, age, etc. So I think they paid a bit of a premium for that perceived fit.

I'm not liking the idea of giving up a 1st and one of our better prospects to fill that role, but I am definitely willing to reserve judgement. It looks a bit dubious up front, but maybe it could pay off.

Maroon is also 29 years old and I believe UFA?

 

[CallMeShaft]

You guys/gals are going to (probably) like Hartman. He's underproduced this year, but he got 19 goals almost exclusively at even strength last season. He takes quite a bit of penalties, but he usually draws more then he takes.

It's a good haul for the Hawks, but I honestly really liked Hartsy (yep, that's his nickname) and am really disappointed to see him leave, especially to a division rival (trading a pest to a team you see 5 times a year is not the best thing in the world). But like I said, Preds fans should end up liking him quite a bit.

That was kind of my point. I was taking into account all gains and losses as it pertains to everything around the deadline. I wasn't zeroing in on the trade only, just the way our team is transforming as a whole through various maneuvers.

Well, this is almost exactly what I was going to post as the servers started going wild:

Hate giving up the 1st rounder in a deep draft year, but I have always liked Hartman (for a Hawk) and how he plays.
