Hartmann had a breakout season in his third year in the SHL. Paired with two talented players in Jon Forty-One and Barrett Blackwood, he followed up a 45-point performance in S57 by exploding for 28 goals and 60 points, being on a point-per-game pace for much of the season. However, this wasn't all sunshine and roses. Hartmann's defensive performance took a step back from where it was in his first couple seasons, with fewer hits, blocks and overall contributing less on defense. Hartmann was also incredibly streaky, alternating periods where he looked like a game-breaking winger with stretches where he contributed absolutely nothing of value to the Blizzard. Overall, it was a better season than predicted for Hartmann, who has improved a lot from his underwhelming 5-goal rookie season in S56. 

Next season will probably be the big test for Hartmann. He's due for a contract extension kicking in next season, and he's going to have to start proving he can drive his own line and justifying the 1st round pick the Blizzard spent on him.
