Which things did Brent do wrong, that Hartley has done right?
Baertschi - 3 goals in 5 games last year. No goals and 1 assist in 10 games this year.
Horak - 61 games in the NHL last year, this year 6 games so far and mostly kept in the AHL.
Brodie - broke out as top 4 last year; this year started off the season as a healthy scratch (very curious move) but Hartley has since corrected his mistake and he's pretty much where is last year, back on the top 4.
Irving - few good starts last year, this year well... he's now in the AHL. Probably won't be back in Calgary again.
Which other players/instances has made Hartley an improvement over Brent? Not that all of those are his fault, but I don't see the obvious improvement here.
(EDIT : I read again and saw you said just players, not young players. I guess you mean players overall?)
