As far as Boudreau goes, there is no way the team would fire Hartley in the hopes of landing him. They would already have the commitment if Bruce was the reason for this move.

This is what I have heard. Take it for what it is worth.
Although some players may not like Daryl Sutter, it is for a different reason than why players don't like Bob. Bob is unrelenting, non-stop, always pushing buttons and sometimes sarcastic in his approach with players.That wears on people.
Daryl is quieter and not as relentless. Daryl though, is direct and blunt at times and some guys find the "truth" hard to handle.
