I think Dallas Eakins is just very simply a good coach, regardless of stage. If given time (and it sounds like he will be), he'll be a big part of the Oilers turning it around.
Hartley will hopefully be here for a short amount of time, and so long as Wilson isn't his replacement - I'll be happy when he's gone.
(I actually think Brent Sutter would be a good coach to have for a team just starting a rebuild...He was completely lost with veterans, but he has shown an ability to work well with younger players)
