Hathaway will be 25 a month into the season, he's got a one year two way deal, that doesn't scream long term NHL'er. The guy had worked hard, on and off the ice, to earn several NHL contracts and I like his energy game but you get value out of these guys for 2-3 seasons then they're usually done and it's by no means a guarantee he plays. When/if he makes it the obvious upside is 4th line grinding winger. The game has changed, it's top nine bottom three now, not top 6 bottom 6. It's too important a position to have a guy with zero offense playing in anything but a part time 4th line role.
