Bob Hartley is in the news right now, being called out by Scott Parker for Hartley’s harshness during his tenure with the Avs affiliate team. As Parker explained, “He was always just degrading me…he was a bully…” Those are harsh words coming from a player about his former coach. Hartley hasn’t yet commented, and I wonder if he will at all.

Here’s the article. Let me know your thoughts on what Parker had to say about Bob Hartley. How do you think Hartley should respond?

It is being speculated on reddit.com/CalgaryFlames that the Flames are interested in Jake Gardiner of the Toronto Maple Leafs. This 23 year old defensive player has been playing with the Toronto Marlies and Leafs since 2011 and has played for Team USA in the World Juniors. So far this season, Gardiner has played 26 games for the Maple Leafs and has 6 points and a +2 rating.

If the Flames are interested in Gardiner, who do you think will be on the chopping block in Calgary?
