Speculation: Scott Hartnell: I will end my career with the Blue Jackets.

[Brock Radunske]

Just because he made the public statement, doesn't mean in reality he would welcome a trade to some teams....and accept them.

"I will end my career in Columbus." Almost sounds like he should be on a suicide watch.[/QUOTE]

Ohio will do that to ya.

 

[Ziggyjoe21]

Good. That's what that pos deserves.

I guess the bidding war on him is now over.

Kessel said he wanted to end his career in Toronto, singed an 8 year deal with a NMC

Less than a year later he was a penguin

Players say a lot of things.

Kessel was run out of town.

You can't run a guy with a NMC out of town the NMC makes that impossible

Will it be on Clarkson's line?

Ok

Hm. Took surprisingly long to get to the inevitable "ha ha Columbus sucks" comments this time. Maybe things really are getting better.

He had 8 teams he'd go to.

Only 8

 

[Stjonnypopo]

Fartsmell's a good guy and I don't blame him for wanting some stability.

 

[McHaNugYakEbNurDra]

Sounds to me like Hartnell supplied the Doctor for Clarkson's assessment



No longer need to protect Clarkson....no longer need to trade Hartnell and his NMC.

 

[hockey17jp]

Was he really that bad last year? I've always liked him as a player but haven't really followed this story..

No he wasn't bad, it's just that he's 34 years old, he has 3 years left on a $4.75 million contract, and with the expansion draft coming up the thought of moving him became kind of a popular idea.

Who outlasts who?

Hartnell versus Torts...

Hartnell. Can't believe another team actually hired Torts.

ahah poor Hartnell.

 

[major major]

That's...nice?

For Jackets fans, actually it is. He has 25 more points over the last 2 years than any Leaf. And a higher scoring rate than any Flyer.

No. He was good. Columbus fans say he was good. His stats were good. There isn't anything to it other than the presumption that he sucks/will suck because of his age.

 

[izzy]

He's still a good player and it's unlikely he'll be a liability before his contract is over.

Vegas is likely to take Korpisalo anyways.
