What Hartley has been known for so far from what I see, is that he expects the kids to work for their time. That means in practice, they have to work hard out there to be included in a lineup. Once they get in the lineup, they have to play hard in the games and not make too many mistakes (at least follow the game plan and the system). The better they play, the more ice they seem to get.
I don't really have a problem with how Hartley has been utilizing the young guys. He seems to have a good track record so far.
