I agree that the narrative of Hartley having a system that was unsustainable was largely justified using the analytics of Corsi vintage. If we are looking at things in a different manner, then we should leave that dependent narrative behind.

Hartley was known to give the opponents the outside, but to make it difficult to get pucks into and through the middle. He was ok giving up a large number of shots from the outside, which hurts Corsi, and liked the quick counterpunch, which creates outnumbered situations which lend themselves to higher danger chances and higher shooting percentage.

(As much as this thread notes a link between team play and expected save percentage, you still have goalies that can perform below that expected level and I am sure that the eye test is sufficient that Hiller did just that.)
