Although Bob Hartley is no longer head coach and does not plan to return to the bench, his background and experiences give him incredible credibility with the media.

Hartley was actually on BPM Sports with JiC and gave a clear warning to the Canadiens regarding Juraj Slafkovsky.

Indeed, the Tricolore should not decide for him, they should wait for the Slovak to force their hand.

"We're going to spy on Slafkovsky, of all his every move," the former coach advances. I have already counted the history of Sven Baertschi. We knew we were going to lose (Jarome) Iginla and (Miikka) Kiprusoff. And then, even before the first day of camp, to take the pressure off him and to give him confidence, we told the kid, "Get an apartment. You start the season with the Flames, you're a Flames." But he wasn't ready!"

"It's not up to the organization to decide what Slafkovsky is going to do, it's the kid that's going to dictate to them if he's ready and then we make the findings."

- Bob Hartley

Hartley still feels bad for Baertschi. You have to be able to follow and understand a player's progression curve and then make the right decision. This is what he gives as a message to the CH management. Be patient and do not rush the youngster, especially during a rebuild.
