If King and Feaster are fired (or King moved upstairs) and a new hockey operations staff is brought in I could easily see Hartley being fired after one year.
A new group would likely want to bring their own guy in and if the person they want is available then see you later Hartley.
However, keeping him to fire him later may be an easy piece for them to hold on to when things are rough during the rebuild and then bringing in the guy you want after some of the tough times are over.
