Was not sold on him last year but i understand he had a bunch of millionaires wanting to do their own thing.
Have to give him the full year. I like how approached pre-season and its paying off on the ice right now. Be interesting if the players keep to his game plan when they start losing or if he loses the room.
Also hard to judge Hartely when he was given a bottom pairing d-men that should not be in the NHL. Add in 3 back-up goalies, and no 1st line forward talent and its easy going forward to give him excuses.
