This one was easy for me. I went with Hartnell because of not just his time here, but his time in the league as a player. He brings intensity every shift, although can make take some stupid penalties, I have never seen him give up. He is also a great person off the ice. If only we had him a few seasons sooner, his numbers would have been much closer to what Joey put up. I wish Hartnell the best and was sad to see him go but understand why. – Jordan Samson

Hartnell was a great antagonist to the Pens (despite a couple of 100+ PIMyears). He was a very engaging personality, had great things to say about Columbus – even mentioned he wants to move back here when his career is done, and played up and down the lineup, a lot of times with the young guys. Fun guy to watch play with a little “old school” in his game. Was also involved with his #HartnellDown camp inviting local youth from Columbus. – DarkandStormy

Prospal:

Round 2: Defeated Mark Letestu 86-70
Round 3: Defeated RJ Umberger 79-73

Vinny was the first one over the “we need to change the culture from the inside” wall. – Dan P.

I went with Prospal because he trolled Detroit when the wings were still the monkey on the CBJ back. – elpalito
