brelic Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yahoo seems to be down. Understandably, Hartnell was upset. The bait and switch is becoming the Flyers' MO, apparently. But, really, this quote I think sums it up best: “It had a lot to do with Hextall being named GM, and he wanted to put a fingerprint on how he wants to play,” he said, discussing his case. “He has a different vision for the club and their style of play going forward.” Basically, Hextall inherited a certain team and the contracts that come with it. Hartnell, in a sense, is a victim of his contract. I'm sure there's no way he's traded if he has 3 years or less. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC, GrossmanN? Sami, That is interesting considering I heard in twitterland that Hartnell and Berube were having some "disagreements". So the truth is somewhere in the middle...... ???

ruxpin Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 How does a GM force someone out? He simply gets rid of him. When a guy is the GM, is it really earth-shattering news to say he was behind a trade? Still an interesting read none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I think forcing the ntc waiver was the thing.Yeah. I would imagine. But it's still kind of a given, isn't it? A guy with a NMC has to be given some motivation, doesn't he? "you're welcome to stay. Enjoy Rinaldo as your linemate for your 8 minutes a game." None of this is to say I didn't enjoy reading the article. I did. I'm glad it was posted here. I just thought the title was a little "no crap."

aziz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) @ruxpinI'm with you. Hartnell did seem annoyed about it, though, and I guess that's where the story is. You have some waived ntc's where the player ends up saying, "The team is headed in a different direction, so it's time for a fresh start." when the player actually says, "The GM wanted me gone, so I left," there is a little extra spice. Plus, writers have deadlines and qquotas, so.... Edited June 24, 2014 by aziz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he simply didn't mean he'll get over it and move on but the yahoo article thought he was talking about Carter.I have to admit that it does crack me up thinking it might have been about Carter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStraw Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I would say that the vast majority of players, in any sport, who have been traded feel exactly the same way. There's no real news here, the Flyers didn't do wrong by Scott Hartnell. On the contrary, they made him a very rich man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real news here, the Flyers didn't do wrong by Scott Hartnell. On the contrary, they made him a very rich man. Well, it wasn't the "being traded" it was the "being asked to waive" after just signing a "team friendly" deal to "stay a Flyer" that had him by his own words "angry." I am hopeful that this will be seen as Hextall shifting focus and taking over the team - but the reactions of many media and fans to the whole "signing a long term deal in Philadelphia" situation could easily have long term implications for the club if they are shared by other players. And everyone is apparently hoping they will unload another one (VLC) soon. Believe you me, I know "it's a business" and "anything can happen" - but then let's just stick with the "it's a business" thing and leave the whole "Flyers family" nonsense out of it. I'm perfectly happy with that (and acknowledge you didn't say anything about it, but it was in my original post). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no story here, the Flyers made a hockey trade. If you don't think that forcing players to waive no trade clauses on their contracts and abandoning long term commitments to players has an effect on what other players think about "playing in Philadelphia" then I think we can just respectfully agree to differ. It was a hockey move, it was a hockey trade. I understand why it happened. It's just that other players do, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
