comments:
contacted me about Hartnell and things evolved from there over the past wk. with all the trades i've made recently i need to replace a position i move going fwd and i wanted the picks since ottawa has a wealth of players in their farm and can't possibly use all their picks and keep their prospects.

tough to lose a Top3 LW like Harts who's hitting his prime with the Flyers and a tough D in hamonic but i like jamie's potential.

thx
to confirm.

The Ottawa Senators confirm.

We like this package of players we are getting. It's a combination of toughness, scoring and a great prospect from the Wings organization. Hartnell's just too much of a 5 tool beast to pass up and with Giroux by his side I think he's only starting his run of high scoring seasons.

We have plenty of cap to handle Hartnell and Hamonic's extension at the end of the year so no issue up ahead in the salary department.

Senators will be actively rebuilding this upcoming FA period.

Thanks for the pro negotiations Pigs! It took sometime but we got there.
