If Treliving was itching to fire Hartley, I highly doubt he would've given him a contract extension when he could've waited a year for his deal to end. Firing Hartley was a knee jerk reaction.

To add, last year Hartley had the team at 2 less wins with abysmal goaltending. Gulutzan has 2 more wins with Johnson playing like vintage Kipper for a month and a half. Plus everyone outside the TBF line are playing well below their career norms. The guys who are supposed to be the team leaders had way better performances under Hartley. I still think we'd have a better record right now if Hartley was the coach. Gulutzan is a mess.
