While I tend to think Jack Adams awards are a bit overrated I do think his season last year likely buys him at least this year. That being said if things aren't working and Treliving thinks that Hartley is a problem keeping him on because he won a trophy last season is a stupid reason.
I have heard Treliving say many times that they loved what they saw last year but that it is still a building process and they need to look to the future so I think that helps with the knee jerk need to win now reaction that may lead to a firing.
