Much about Hartley has already been said; however, you only have to look 300km to the North to see how not to develop young prospects during a rebuild. In contrast, Hartley helped bring along Monahan, kickstart Johnny, and reset Ferland. Brodie came into his own under Hartley, and even guys like Gio and Backlund improved significantly under his watch.
