Last week, we glanced at Ryan Hartman and his quiet exit from the Chicago Blackhawks. Hartman was traded to Nashville in February of 2018. Nashville recently gave Ryan Hartman a one-year, $875,000 contract through the 2018-19 season. This contract says one thing: “Prove it.” Hartman will become a restricted free agent once this next season concludes.
This week, we will highlight the last active, Illinois native to recently play for the Chicago Blackhawks. Vinnie Hinostroza grew up a Blackhawks fan and even found childhood friends in the locker room with him during his time with the organization.
