I've always liked Carlyle. I thought he was in an unwinnable situation in Toronto, and they were much worse after he was let go. He even managed to get that awful team in the playoffs in the lockout shortened season.
He got a bad rap from the fishbowl media in Toronto, but he had enormous success with Anaheim before arriving there.
If I had to choose someone else to coach the team, it'd probably be Carlyle (Burke knows him well too). That being said, I like Hartley a lot and I doubt Carlyle is an upgrade on him, just a different yet equally capable choice.
