I'm glad Hakstol has been given the 2nd chance in Seattle. It's quite possible that his role in helping draft the team played a part in gaining player types that best fit his coaching strategy, which is more similar to selecting HH players for his North Dakota collegiate team. In Philly he had a team in place to join and make work. It's all possible that it was the combination of Hextall and players that didn't mesh with his game plan. And as said above, good coaches learn from their mistakes too.
