The Cale Hart era in Bricktown is finally over.

GM TwigStarz sold the underperforming winger to Slovakian third tier side Puck Ducks for $1.05 million, ending what had ultimately been a forgettable tenure.

Hart, 26, entered his FA year having spent the last few seasons up and down throughout the lineup, going from a promising young star, to a utility player, playing mostly 3rd and 4th line minutes in his final days as a Star.

Coming in as a talented 17 year old, he was thought to be the go to man for the Starz at left, or right wing. His versatility thought to be just another plus for the young winger, but ended up being the only thing that kept him around, holding down the LW spot on a team always short in that area.

All things considered, forgettable may seem like a misnomer considering his stat line (342P, 128G in 283GP) during his 9 years in Bricktown, but at the end of the day, with his potential having been reached, and improvement dwindling, it was time to let him go.

"Cale was a great addition, peppy young guy, head and shoulders above the rest at the time, but as he got older, we noticed he just wasn't getting better. Maybe that saying of you can't teach an old dog new tricks applies, or maybe he was just getting tired, but nonetheless, he seemed to have reached his ceiling.

Unfortunate, sure, but it is what it is, and at the end of the day, getting just over a million is sure better than letting him walk for free.
