Heatley had almost 100 points in the NHL before Hartley was even the coach in Atlanta.
While you may believe that the "random dudes on the internet" are out of line questioning Hartley, there was a reason that this guy was out of NHL since 2007 and not coaching for a large part of that.
He certainly didn't do wonders for Braydon Coburn during his time with him.
