McGrattan does everything asked of him. I agree with you about Hartley though and the biggest burr in my saddle with him is his treatment of Baertschi. The kid has improved his game quite a bit from the start of the season. He might top out as another Lee Stempniak and that's fine but let him play! Hartley has his favourites who can do no wrong and under this supposed "meritocracy" it's bs. The players will tune him out fast ESPECIALLY the young guys when they realize they are busting their ass and still getting benched while guys like Butler, Glenncross et al make bone headed moves all the time and still dress. Ridiculous.
