Let's be honest in that a lot of the reason for Johnny's success is that Hartley has kind of let him do his thing. We see at times some bad turnovers and shifts when his line is hemmed in their own end of the rink but the benefits of unleashing him outweigh the negatives. I remember when Pierre Page was trying to get Fleury to play a 200 foot game and all it resulted in was Fleury's worst ppg season as a Flame and the beginning of the Flames 7 year playoff drought. Sometimes you just gotta let your most skilled guys play as its not like Druin's stats in the NHL depict that he's a train wreck defensively when he's I the ice. I feel there's a bit of a coach/player issue here not different than Hartley and Baertschi where they simply weren't compatible.
