Unverified, but I just saw on twitter this might be an actual thing happening…(fans paying $ to Hartman) Hopefully they verified the venmo account
I saw that. I hope its really him, but if not they are making some other Ryan Hartman’s day! Its probably him because it has the number 24 in the acct and he wore that number early in his career.

there was a payment shown to Brandon Duhaime awhile ago with a middle finger icon so I suspect its real 
That is hilarious. Im sure Hartman will donate it to charity. Evander Kane’s ex sent him $200! LOL

Don’t look at the Ben Meyers news. If we don’t acknowledge it then it never happened. That’s just horrible.

Just saw that. Dangit. That’s a good situation for him I think.
wow, that came out of nowhere…I guess it’s good bye Kadri next year, I’m sure that makes him feel good for the playoff run…
meanwhile in Twins Territory… Kershaw has a perfect game going through 7 innings and the Twins just gave up 3 consecutive homers…
Anybody but the avs.

Meyers to the Avs? I’ll be damned. And here I just read the other day that the Wild have become the team everyone wants to go to.

He is going to get a better shot with the Avs because they have a ton of UFAs and probably one of the bigger ones is Kadri which they likely wont be able to re-sign.
^^ I wonder if having a better than average shot at putting a certain ring on his finger for playing maybe a half dozen games in your first year of a NHL career creeped into his thought process? Kind of get that pesky ultimate goal out of the way right away. Then no matter what happens after that you always got that ring. Nah that would never happen.
I’d be surprised if Meyers cracks into the starting lineup regularly at this point with the Avalanche. My guess is that he will be playing for their AHL team until season’s end unless someone gets injured. He will not be on the active playoff roster either (he’s ineligible per NHL rules). If the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup, and we all know they are the heavy favorites, he will not be hoisting it and his name will not be on it. If he had signed with the Wild, he wouldn’t be on their roster either. He’d start in Iowa.
Per NHL rules, a player must participate in at least 41 regular season games or one game in the Stanley Cup Finals to be eligible for a Stanley Cup ring. He will not be meeting either of those criteria.
Usually when a college player joins a pro squad late in the season, they aren’t put into the starting NHL lineup right away if the team is a legit contender or a playoff team. If the team sucks and isn’t going anywhere, then they are. Noah Cates and Bobby Brink have both been put right into the lineup right away for the Flyers because they’re a train wreck.

Meyers is exempt from the playoffs, so no ring. He’ll get regular season games this year once the Avs lock down home ice and can rest guys…
My guess is that he was promised a high roster position to choose the Avs who need his low aav, they won’t come out and say this, but it’s the likely scenario that took place.
Yup he will play in the regular season this year but can’t play in playoffs. Every team that was in on him promised him regular season games this year. He interviewed with over half the teams in the league, he was interviewing them. Basically they tell him where he’ll fit in the organization and how they operate. Then he chose the team he wanted and it was Colorado. I’m sure the prospect of winning a cup soon or simply playing on a really good team played a role in that.
Funny how the 2 centers the Wild missed out on, Meyers and McBain, chose very different teams. One thought the Wild were too good and the other thought they weren’t good enough.

I think prior relationships with teammates (Sampo Ranta) and other acquaintances (Hunter Miska) in the system also played a role with Meyers decision. Its a ton of pressure to play for the home town team.

especially for a young player, seems like most MN boys come back to play for the Wild to end their career and be closer to their families (with kids)
It wasnt all that long ago that we all wanted Zucc gone and feared there was no way to move his contract. Remember then? Boy have things changed.
In our defense, I would point out that MN fans for some reason are really sensitive to bad GMs buying expensive, long term contracts, with no trade clauses.
Would you rather Parise and Suter still be here and not have the dead cap?
And speak of the…

I think most fanbases arent thrilled about no trade/move clauses. Its part of the landscape and usually what it takes to get the best deal for the team. The whole thing with Zucc as it was pointed out he was coming off injury, wasnt playing well and we all thought that was a terrible signing. It looks fantastic now all because of the chemistry between those 3. I really hope we can keep Hartman around through Kaprizovs contract because its good to have someone with grit that can stick up for those two. He’s no slouch offensively either.
it will be interesting what happens in 2 years when Zuc, Foligno and Hartman are UFA’s and we still have 1 season left of a $15 million caphit…we’ll likely have capspace due to alot of ELC’s being on the books, but Term will be so important…

Need more of this energy in here

We have to get to 200 pages somehow.
We only have 24 pages to go and the playoffs have not even started.
Has to be other topics.
Like how dumb the NHL playoff seeding is.
Any update on Big Rig out there? I know he is out for this road trip. Dewar recalled.
A lot of western conference playoff implication games tonight.

I wish they would re-seed after the first round or just roll 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7 etc. Not this cross Division crap they do now.
Ive seen nothing on Greenway. It was at the end of the first period he got hurt right? No idea what it was even.

Where is this coming from? Maybe that is criteria to get their name on the Cup, but I’m pretty sure the owner can give a ring to whoever he wants. Black aces have rings. WAGs have rings. PA announcers have rings. Part time arena staff have rings. The Caps owner spent like $5 million on rings for the entire organization.
I think I would feel pretty weird wearing a ring that I really had little or no part in winning. I get the reason why they do it though.
