For Wild’s Ryan Hartman, latest suspension should be a wake-up call

“He’s pretty upset,” Wild president of hockey operations and general manager Bill Guerin said. “This is affecting him.” […] Hartman won’t be available to the media until the process is over.

“He plays the game with no honor,” said 408-goal scorer Ray Ferraro, a longtime NHLer and analyst. […] “Most reputations are earned,” Ferraro told The Athletic. “They don’t just come from somewhere. If he doesn’t understand the implications yet, then that’s a whole other conversation. He’s pretty clearly got to change some of the ways he plays the game. He can be a really effective player. It’s difficult to be effective when you’re sitting for a month. He’s got to rethink the way he goes about his business.

“It affects the team. It affects him,” Guerin said. “This is a big hit for him financially. It’s the other player that gets hurt or possibly could have. Ryan is a good player. Not too many guys play his brand of hockey, but he’s got to do a better job of not crossing the line. He knows it.” Hartman already appeared to be in coach John Hynes’ doghouse — the forward was demoted to the fourth line in his hometown of Chicago to start this five-game trip — and now he’s in everyone’s doghouse.

“I do worry about him,” Guerin said. “He’s one of my players. He’s got to do a better job. He’s worked at it. I know he has. We’ve had a lot of discussions about it. “Look, he just can’t do it.” […] “I try to put myself in the other GM’s position,” Guerin said. “Accident or not, wanting to do it or not wanting to do it, it happened. Whether you meant it or not, it happened.”
