He's still the coach that's gotten the team further than Treliving's handpicked guys, and with a worse roster to work with.

I agree. When Hartley was here he never talked negatively about anyone to the media, on the contrary, always seemed complimentary. Even when Gaudreau, Monahan and Bouma broke team tules and we’re suspended a game he said something along the lines of “no one robbed a bank but they broke the team rules and have to bear the consequences.” I still believe he deserved one more year after the absolute tank job goaltending was his last year.
