if any of that's true then I hope those players are able to articulate exactly what the problem is to BT during final reviews. I get the feeling BT already knows he'll have to follow the model of most recent cup winners and switch out the coach to get the most of out of his maturing roster, but is handcuffed by the optics of dumping someone a year removed from a Jack Adams win. I'd say Hartley has enough rope left to get him 1.5 to 2 months into next season. if results are the same, that'll be be the ammo needed for the change.
