I'm thinking good. Iginla mentioned in an interview (on the Flames site) that the new system is "quite different from anything that I've played for a long time" and that there's a lot of new detail to take in.
Basicly, without these few days it might have taken quite a while for Hartley to make the transition from Sutters system to his own happen.
Also, it gives a chance to get two very important forwards in Cervenka and Hudler up to speed.
