And his "chemistry" with Kaprizov was 3 years ago. Neither matters.Hartman has mentioned he likes playing center more than wing. Neutering two lines instead of trying to spread it out to three is dumb.
If he could win a faceoff, then maybe putting him at center would be worth considering.Hartman has mentioned he likes playing center more than wing. Neutering two lines instead of trying to spread it out to three is dumb.

And when Eriksson Ek was injured.And his "chemistry" with Kaprizov was 3 years ago. Neither matters.
That third line is a mess.new lines tonight:
boldy-ek-kap
marjo-rossi-hartman
foligno-gaudreau-trenin
lauko-marat-one of the call ups
new PP lines as well with Hartman and Chisholm on PP 1 and Faber and Spurgeon on PP2. I can get behind these lines, let's see how well it works tonight!
at 2 x 2m/yr I wouldn't say "big". I have no problem with him being on the team at that cap hit, just don't see how he is a fixture in the top 6. He is an ok 3rd liner, to me.mojo in the top 6 is just billy trying to prove he was right when we know mojo was a big mistake.
Lauko is so much better. Good trade there.at 2 x 2m/yr I wouldn't say "big". I have no problem with him being on the team at that cap hit, just don't see how he is a fixture in the top 6. He is an ok 3rd liner, to me.
The Trenin signing is much more egregious, IMO.
I was a big fan of Duhaime. Thought he still had some potential and could be an eventual replacement for someone like Foligno.Duhaime with 7 points on the year already. Had a beautiful assist where he blew around the outside with speed that Trenin can only dream about, outmuscled a dman, then set up Dowd for a chip shot goal. Scored a goal later, with a similar outside move
Duhaime is much faster, physical, can drop the gloves(so guys like Middleton and Bogo don't have to)and can add some offense if given the chance, it appears, unlike Trenin. Add in the fact that he makes half of what Trenin makes. Put this series of moves in the minus column for BG.
