Have to think that CBJ would move Hartnell without needing a ton back.
Right now, they have 4 forwards with a NMC, and that doesn't involve Saad, Wenneberg, Atkinson or Jenner. My guess is they would rather protect all 4 of those guys instead of Hartnell.
The other players with a NMC are Dubinsky, Foligno and Clarkson. Nobody is taking Foligno or Clarkson off their hands. That leaves Dubinsky or Hartnell, and CBJ doesn't really have another center to replace Dubinsky.
They may prefer to wait until the deadline to see if they can get something good for Hartnell, but if they hold him past the deadline, they are risking one of their younger forwards for a 35 year old 50 point player.
I imagine CBJ can get Clarkson to waive his NMC without issue. LV would never pick him.
