We have Hartley, who came in and actually rejuvenated Bouwmeester's value making him tradeable again, and who has already proven his system is perfect for puck moving defenseman like Hamilton.

I still get night terrors thinking of the way Brent used Bouwmeester. I don't have a lot of love for Jay but the one thing he excelled at was sneaking high into the slot for a good scoring attempt. He was so good at getting there and being open for a quick one-timer and Brent didn't allow him to do that. Totally neutered his game changing skating game.
Anchoring him with Butler was such a mess too.
Our defence under Hartley this season was a revelation. He knew exactly how to use Giordano, Brodie, Wideman and Russell.
