NSH-COL Trade
NSH trades Ryan Hartman (CHI) to COL in exchange for Calvin de Haan (NYI) and Louis Leblanc (MTL).
NSH was looking for some prospect depth on the back end and the addition of de Haan made some sense as a bit of a hedge with Pulock in the system.
COL to confirm.

Colorado confirms. We just don't belive de Haan is a full time NHL Dman. Our orginization doesn't believe LeBlanc is the real. We see Hartman as a gritty player with decent offensive upside

I like Hartman more, but I see him and Leblanc as having pretty similar offensive upsaides (there's no 'grit' category in this league...)... De Haan, getting a shot in the bigs, as a throw-in? Win for NSH IMO...

personally I dont think Leblanc will ever be a main stay on an NHL roster. I see Hartman as a Marchand/Shaw type player. Needs to define his game a bit more and work hard. His injury really set him back a bit also
