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

[varano]

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

We ran him out of town. We treated a thirty goal scorer like ****. Then he won a cup.

It's sad, I would have love him in Montreal! Still very serviceable player, still able to put 50 points on the board, decent 2nd liner!

Now I know the answer to the question do dreams come true.

If I know anything about being a pro athlete it's never think you're too old to play, to be honest Hartnell saying he'll retire in Columbus at the age of 36-37 is disturbing even if it makes sense. What it really says is he has no passion left except for the $$$.

His play says otherwise...

 

[JKinCLE]

So does this mean I won't get to read any more fun threads about Hartnell to Montreal for Emelin or Desharnais??

 

[gdsmack267]

It really doesnt effect Jackets at all anyways for the next couple years because they decided to hire Torts as their coach. Until hes gone they're not doing anything anyways

 

[PredsV82]

I know Nashville was one because there was a deal that almost went through but other then that I don't think a list ever popped up.


.

was that supposedly going to be part of the Jones-RyJo trade or later at the deadline?

that was the rumor...that the RyJones trade was originally bigger, then they decided to pair it down to a 1 for 1...

Vegas is likely to take Korpisalo anyways.

I've been saying this for a while. Maybe not Korpi, but Vegas might take the same player regardless of the extensive transactions to protect the most players. Same for a lot of clubs - so much of the expansion protection worry is needless.

I don't know how you came to the conclusion that he just wants to take the money and retire. He's a passionate player and hasn't stopped playing like it. His quote can also be interpreted to mean that he will continue playing indefinitely in Columbus until his retirement, possibly at a much older age.

"I will end my career without a Stanley Cup"

Well Hartnell's goal is to make the Penguins miserable and he will get many chances. How many more years of Dubinsky and Hartnell driving those Pens crazy?

Well, this appears to be one of the biggest "if" statements I've seen in a long time. How very, very presumptuous of you.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

The cool thing is there are only 3 (4 tops) misconceptions about the Hartnell/Columbus situation in this thread. I'm calling that progress.

 

[gorangers0525]

I mean, it's not like he's a garbage player or anything.

No we didn't we couldn't, he had a NMC if he didn't want to leave there is literally nothing we could do.

They drove the Pens so crazy that the Pens won the Stanley Cup in 2016 while Columbus has won 2 playoff games in their existence.

Columbus should probably try to build a team to win the Cup instead of a team to annoy another team.

Modified NTC, he could be traded to 8 teams. Check capfriendly

General Fanager has it as a NMC

Clauses
NMC, modified NTC (player submits list of 8 teams to which he will accept trade)

Might want to try again.
