So you think what Hartley does with aging 4th liners is more important than how he effects the progress of our future stars? Thank god you aren't our GM. You seem to think that young players are more easily motivated than vets. While that might be true (I would argue that they are about the same), getting young players to play the game the right way is the most important thing, otherwise you end up with the Oilers.
You also point to Tanguay, Iggy, etc... How many coaches did those guys float under? If you are vet making a lot of money and you can't motivate yourself, get the hell off the team.
