Wait, what? How?

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Can't be upset with that.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Wow.. nice one Poile

 

[Cor]

Remember when the Preds gave up a 1st, 4th and Victor Ejdsell for Hartman and a 5th lol

Nicolas Beaudin gonna be a good one for Chicago.

 

[jumb0]

That's great if true.

 

[pheasant]

I know he didn't exactly light it up in Nashville. But he was trending the right way with Chicago. Looked like a legit scoring forward who plays 2-way.

This looks like a steal. He's clearly betting on himself, and hoping to cash in after a good-great season next year rather than lock in for term at a lower rate right now.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Good "show me" contract for Hartman... he never really settled in for the Preds and found a regular role after the trade, but considering what they paid to get him, I'm sure they will make more of a point of getting him involved in the coming season. With Hartnell gone, there should be a better chance for Hartman to prove his worth.

His production with the Hawks probably could have garnered him a better-looking 2-year bridge deal, just looking at the numbers, but hopefully he's banking on having a big year and showing the Preds that he can be worth a lot more on a longer term deal after the coming season.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Good signing. He may not be a star, but he's got Hartman.




....I'm so sorry...

 

[Flukeshot]

Really surprised there. Definitely didn't get paid on potential.

 

[ffh]

do players you pay a 1st for at the deadline usually re-sign for under a million.

Hartman is buried in the Preds forward depth. Still though, can't believe he took until 1M.

Seems odd, doesn't it. Maybe Poile is just making sure he won't be stuck with something he doesn't want to be stuck with.

 

[QcFlames12]

Is he UFA after this deal?

 

[NewtJorden]

Is there still any doubt that Poile is the best GM in the league?

 

[jumb0]

CapFriendly says RFA

 

[BonMorrison]

Good deal. He never really settled here but he was being thrown all over the line-up so it's hard to blame him. He should nicely settle in next to Bonino or Sissons this year (or maybe even Turris if he maximizes his potential).

 

[Mortiest Morty]

He was injured last year. The way I heard it, he got injured near the end of the regular season and played the rest of the way and the playoffs with a torn labrum. He had surgery after the playoffs and might not be back for the start of the season.

 

[tony d]

Nice signing for the Preds. Be interesting to see how Hartman does next yr.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Add to the list of team-friendly contracts in Nashville.

 

[Esq]

I still like the trade from the Hawks perspective, but rooting for Hartsy in Nashville.

Poile has been doing a great a job overall, but that's a bit weird comment in a thread related to a trade where he moved a 1st rounder for a 4th liner.

The return Chicago got for Shaw and Hartman was pretty remarkable. Two 4th liners who other teams valued more than they should've, and Chicago was able to cash in in a major way. But maybe Hartman can still be more I guess.

 

[Grigowski]

Wow! What a steal!

He's not a 4th liner by any statistical measure, just check out his even strength numbers the past two seasons. Thanks for your input though, I guess.

He has Arb rights next summer and is betting on himself. Just like andreas johnsson did. It's smart by the player
