Holy f'ing crap. Did not see that coming. Not one bit.
I'm sad to see Hartley go. I genuinely like the guy and he seemed to do what was best for the team. He is directly responsible for the culture change that took place after the country club atmosphere that was prevalent here for so long. And he was at the helm for one of the funnest season in Flames memory. I'm going to miss the guy.
On the other hand, how awesome is it to have a GM like BT take advantage of a situation and not be afraid to make changes for the betterment of the club. I kind of figured Hartley would be gone by December if the team wasn't playing up to par. But looks like we will get that head start.
