I really think the stories of how bad Hartley was are exaggerated. People were claiming how tough he was on guys like Gaudreau and Monahan, but they still went to his hockey camp after he got fired.
He's still the coach that's gotten the team further than Treliving's handpicked guys, and with a worse roster to work with.
