gold star for USAHOF

A high First Round Pick (6th Overall) in 2000, Scott Hartnell, made the team as a rookie, scoring only 16 Points but gaining valuable experience in his limited ice time.  It would not be limited after that.

Hartnell was a fan favorite (though he would be even more so in Philadelphia), and his tenacious, grinding play helped generate wins for Nashville.  Hartnell had a pair of 40-Point years for the Preds and three PIM years on a checking line.

The Predators traded Hartnell and Kimmo Timonen to the Flyers for a 1st Round Pick, who would never make the NHL.  Needless to say, it was a lopsided trade against Nashville.  He would return to the Preds for a final year in 2017, retiring before the next hockey campaign.

With the Predators, Hartnell totaled 235 Points.

Scott Hartnell arrived via trade from the Nashville Predators, and it was a match made in heaven.  The Flyers fans always love gritty power forwards (does the new mascot Gritty kind of resemble Hartnell?), and Hartnell was no different. His fun-loving personality endeared him even more to the city.  Recording most of his goals by crowding the net, Hartnell was a two-time 30-goal scorer and an All-Star in 2012.

218. Scott Hartnell

Scott Hartnell was a very popular, tenacious player during his National Hockey League career, earning All-Star honors in 2012 while a member of the Philadelphia Flyers.  It was when he was with Philly that his job was at its apex, as he had a pair of 30 Goal seasons there and was a significant part of their deep playoff run in 2010.  He would also play for the Nashville Predators and the Columbus Blue Jackets in his career.
