Yes the Stars could have still sent him a QO, but then they could have ended up paying him a lot more money than they want.

I think the intention was for the Stars to acquire Hartman and sign him to a new deal right away before the QO was due. Because Hartman went off the grid, that plan failed and now there is a risk they could lose him.
Yep. I'm drunk.
