I'm don't know about this 5.5 number, that sounds high to me, but right now, he makes 2.6 and is playing above that contract. Last year he played WAY above that. He's been a good player for the Flames, and if his time here is almost up then so be it. But I think he gave us excellent value while he was here.

Another quote from Hartley, when asked about scratching Wideman early last year: "I'm a coach, not a banker" I don't really care how much he makes. I don't have this internal pay to performance ratio that he must meet. I just don't like his game
