This is precisely what I find odd about the current attitude towards Hartley by some. Just find it contradictory.

I'm going to put the likelyhood that we have a new coach come the beginning of the 2014/2015 season at 0%. Burke isn't going to go on record saying Hartley should get Jack Adams consideration and then let a GM he hires get rid of him. No chance. Like I said, he's earned a contract extension this off season.
