Hartnell potted two goals and added an assist in Sunday's 7-3 preseason loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

After Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen failed to find a taker for Hartnell's contract in the offseason, the veteran winger withdrew his consent to waive his no-movement clause and announced he was staying put in Columbus. That could create a logjam for the organization as they try to incorporate youngsters like Oliver Bjorkstrand and Sonny Milano onto the NHL roster, but Hartnell led the team in power play goals last season and is still capable of producing solid numbers in a top-six role.
