Coaches should be allowed to start any player on the roster. If they explicitly told them to fight, then there could be a fine. A real slippery slope here. Who defines what is a fourth line player?

Yeah, unless they have proof that Hartley specifically asked for something unsportsmanlike to happen, I don't see how they are justified in fining him. Seems weak. It's really just to give the decision the appearance of some kind of "balance".
