I think if/when the time comes that this current group (plus theoretically next years top pick) become a contender Hartley won't be the coach, my guess is that he's out before the start of 2017
you just don't often see a coach take a team from its infancy to a contender, Chicago brought in Quenneville, LA brought in Sutter, Sharks from Wilson to McLellen, Penguins from Therien to Bylsma etc.
