Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Hartman has usually been good at streaky scoring, but at .20-.25 PPG, he doesn't even get that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnt Toast Verified Member Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Just from a fan’s eye test, mine, Hartman looks a little lost out on the ice this year. Maybe get him a couple of linemates and have them stick together for a while if possible. I would imagine some players prefer certain guys so if it’s players he has some chemistry with that would be fantastic. Hopefully the coaching staff has communicated expectations and roles already. Wild management has chosen to keep RH over many other players so they must trust him to be a consistent contributor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy the poor boy Verified Member Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Well, the Wild got their 1 goal. Now we have to hope Gus can get us to OT.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skomonkey Verified Member Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Hartman has been a liability for years. He doesn’t look like he’s trying. He often waits for the puck to come to him inviting contact which he usually loses control of the puck. The guy can’t finish. I’m guessing no one wants him so we are stuck. I would bench him for 5-7 games and give others his spot. Can’t hurt. If he’s playing injured, this will give him time to heal. If he’s a head case and lazy as I suspect, he will have a choice to make before the Wild waive him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I'd go the opposite way of SM above, I'd put him on the 2nd line with Boldy when Ek gets back. I think we have a bigger problem with Johansson these past couple of games starting to take cardio shifts. I believe he needs the message ahead of Hartzy. With Johansson, he either gets Prossbox, or 4th line with Dino (and I do think that with Johansson's speed, it is a good match with Dino's speed). Hartzy has an NMC for the rest of this year, but a 15 team M-NTC for next season. To me, he has proven to be a $4m player, but, his role is being sent down to not be that kind of value. I think this summer, it will be time to trade him. Also, something seems off with him physically, like SM said above, he may, indeed, be gutting it out.
