I believe in Hartley - and part of the reason why is that he can get a lot of his players.
Everyone is on the Wideman train these days, but he was a healthy scratch and was noted as being out of shape prior to the 13/14 season. Under Hartley, Wideman has become fit and is playing the best hockey of his career.
If Bob could do that with Kessel? That'd be a huge win for our organization. Kessel as-is, remains one of the best snipers in the league. Under the right guidance, he could be much, much more.

Like I said, I think if he's going to turn it around, it would be on a team like the Flames for Hartley. His contract is beyond horrible. It's hora-awful!
