I really hope he knows what he's doing.

Sigalet's goaltenders have had 1 poor year in 5 with the organization, in every other year you could argue that the goaltenders overachieved.
Gelinas has a history with player development prior to become an assistant coach in Calgary. It is very possible as an assistant part of his duties were working with young players due to that background. It was also stated "role within the organization", I believe this is specifically about Gelinas. With his player development history they could be looking at him in that role.
Also like other posters have posted we don't know what was going on behind the scenes. For all we know Gelinas was asking for certain changes on the PP/PK and Hartley wasn't implementing them. AN assistant coach can only do so much.
