I saw a Tweet (Mirtle?) indicating that Hartnell asked to be traded.

 

And that reminded me of a GR550 based Tweet from last week: Philly -- whether it knows it or not -- may be an early dark horse candidate for the McDavid/Eichel sweepstakes.

That just seems like a REALLY low price to pay for Scott Hartnell.

 

I just think there has to be more to this. The only thing I can think of is that Hartnell must have asked for a move. He had a no-trade, right?

Mirtle says Hartnell requested a trade.

Strange to tweet that out now since this has been known for about a year. The part about officially changing at the draft has even been known for a couple months now.

 

Some people can't even remember what they had for breakfast this morning. :lol:

Even if Hartnell requested a trade, the best they could do is Umberger and a 4th? Ron Hextall is apparently aiming at being the next Scott Howson and/or Garth Snow.Unless Hartnell would only waive for CBJ (doesn't sound like it), then Hextall just got rocked in his first trade.

What does it say about the Flyers that their heart and soul guy who fans love wanted to GTFO to the Columbus Blue Jackets? Scotty is no dummy. This is a huge vote of no confidence.

Pretty sure Hartnell wants to end up in LA and figured this was almost as good as getting traded there directly. Should be there by the trade deadline. ;)

@ChrisKuc

 

Jonathan Toews said he and Patrick Kane want to play for #Blackhawks "hopefully our entire careers. That's the priority right there."

 

Jonathan Toews on contract extension: "We're in discussions right now but as far as I know nothing is concrete." #Blackhawks

 

Asked Jonathan Toews if there was any scenario where he wouldn't sign contract extension with #Blackhawks: "Very doubtful."

@reporterchris: It looks like the #bruins will go with Niklas Svedberg as a backup to Tuukka Rask next season. He's been given a one-way deal for $600,000.

That explains it. I trust Mirtle.

 

I trust (and really like) Mirtle as well, although subsequent intell indicates that Hartnell was forced out. Mirtle might've been getting the team spin in advance of the agent's spin. It does sound like Hextall wanted more cap flexibility and a different direction.

 

Philly could be a legit bottom 5 tire fire next year.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
