It would look like Mark Hartigan’s got himself a cozy new home.
As posted at LGW, Latvia appears to be the destination.
Rough translation? “Mark Hartigan, a punk ass forward who lucked his way into a Stanley Cup, will be playing in Latvia.” I may be a little off. Not sure.

You are so wrong about Hartigan “lucking” his way to a Stanley Cup…
He lucked his way to two of them, back to back no less!

Chief- bonus points for use of the words “Latvia” and “cozy” in the same post…

So which team brings him back for the stretch run to see if his Stanley Cup streak holds for another year?

Jeebus Chief, where’d all this posting come from? Don’t hurt your wrist now.
How big is Latvia? He’s got a good chance to be a top line forward now.

Y’know, I was just about to say he’d lucked into two Cups. Thankfully, his name is on NEITHER.
I’m going to take a wild guess and say Hartigan signed the contract for big money and has never been to Riga. If he had, then the phrase “Not for all the gold in Fort Knox” comes to mind. If he isn’t on the first flight back, then you can be sure he’s knocking back the Black Balsam big-time. And with the way he plays sober, you won’t notice a difference anyway.
Latvia isn’t very big, but there have been some decent players coming from there. Don’t count on Hartigan being on Dynamo Riga’s top line.

Mark Hartigan and Duvie Westcott?!? Rigas Dinamo has put the rest of the Latvian League on notice.

LOL. The Wings should play these guys in an exhibition, it’d be like the Superseries all over again.

Or at least cracking the line up for more than a few games in a row.

Well, i am Latvian and today i saw Rīgas Dynamo friendly game against KHL club ‘‘Amur’’ and although Mark Hartigan didn’t do anything special and didn’t had any BIG moments, i have good first impression about him.
I am not sure what lineup will he be in after training camp, but i am pretty sure he is good enough to be in one of starting lineups…
By the way we won ‘‘Amur’’ 3:2
