For me personally, I want to see young players improve and make some waves under Hartley. As far as I am concerned, the overall win-loss record isn't as important as player development.
In Colorado, Hartley was able to get a lot from the 20-25 age group. I want to see that here. I am not expecting the same success (we don't have Sakic, Forsberg or Bourque), but I want to see players like Backlund, Baertschi and Horak improve their play and stats starting next season.
