So who defines what player is a "position fighter"? The NHL fined Hartley for the optics nothing else.

No I don't think it is. And I think it's complete crap that Torts was "concerned" so he didn't put out the Sedin line. Larf, that would have been a great way to score a goal, you try to match the top line against the 4th all the time. Torts felt upstaged, and came completely unglued when Hartley would not indulge his idiocy.
