Older coach likes "old style" hockey. Hartley likes those hard workers that will do what it takes to get the job done, even though they dont' have the skill and they take some nights off because they gave it their all the previous game, he likes them.
He likes his vets. Plain and simple. He isn't built to coach in today's NHL, things have changed and he either needs to change with them (which he clearly hasn't) or move on.
