I think we've seen some attempts by Hartley to keep the group, at least the younger players, invested and to a degree insulated from poor behavior(s) and attitudes.

We've also seem some scratches of players (Stajan comes to mind) that, at least to my eyes, aren't giving it their all as the season progresses. Yet guys like Engelland are (again, to my eyes) making sure they give it all their all down the stretch and are being played more. Likely because they provide the embodiment of the message the coaches want the young players to have.
