I feel if there is a coach change it won't be a decision Burke makes but the new GM but on the flip side I imagine that Burke will strongly recommend Hartley to his newly hired GM.
If the Penguins don't get to the final four I would say his firing will be guaranteed and Trotz job will hinge on the GM's as if the GM gets fired there would be a total house cleaning. I actually see the Oilers taking a run at either one of these guys as contrary to the reports of Eakins getting another season I think he may get the axe as that team has played horribly under him and it's pretty obvious he's not NHL material.
