I would agree with most that he is probably safe until at least 30-40 games into next season, except for one thing:
his passive defensive playing style.
It has to be KILLING Treliving and Burke, watching the team play so passively and never hit or clear guys from in front of the net.
In fairness, the team is pretty small and Hartley is playing a style that suits them, to an extent. But I would guess that the guys upstairs want the team to be a whole lot harder to play against.
