It's hard to call any player's opinion relevant or irrelevant. Coaches by nature are in a polarizing position. They actively make decisions that directly affect how a player is used, how a player is perceived, and can ultimately make or break careers depending on what stage you had them and how you as a person react to their style. No matter who the coach is, if he's Scotty Bowman or John Tortorella, some player somewhere loves him and some player somewhere hates him.
Just the way it is. Sounds like Hartley was a little on the harsh side of things, but that was also 10+ years ago. How much have you changed in 10 years? Are there people you've worked with to whom you have said regrettable things?
