Earlier this month, Ryan Hartman said he circled his first game against his former team on his calendar. But it wasn’t just because the Predators forward was playing against the Blackhawks for the first time.
He was collecting rent from a former teammate.
The Blackhawks traded Hartman to the Predators last February, but he kept his three-bedroom Lincoln Park condo and leased it to Connor Murphy, reports Jason Lieser of The Chicago Sun-Times.
The two have an agreement in place where Murphy only pays Hartman rent when the two teams meet.
