A successful NHL coach has to get his best highest paid player to play like they are the best players.
Once a player gets over 10M in earnings (either past or guaranteed future earnings) then a coach has a more difficult time getting full commitment to playing hard.
Darryl Sutter getting the long term guys with > 10M in the bank on LA to play so hard for so long is a significant accomplishment.
What indication has Hartley given that he will be able to do this? He is batting 2 for about 20 in this category over the last 2 years... (Gio and Hudler)
