I said other and not because some of those guys aren't better options than Hartley but because they aren't better options than what will be available in the off-season.
I think you keep Hartley for the season and fire him then.
I can't think of anyone I would want to hire that is available now and there are no internal candidates that I would want to be anything more than an fill in coach. So unless Hartley seems to be damaging players or is unable to work with Treliving I would likely just keep him and fire him at the end of the year.
If they do need to fire him I would have Gelinas, Huska, Conroy or some other internal guy fill in and look to hire someone in the off-season.
A couple of guys I would like to look at- Kevin Dineen and if at all possible Dave Tippet. Those would be my top two guys off the top of my head.
