Ferland switching to RW on the top line switched how the lines get set. He transitioned from being an LW playing with Chiasson as his RW, to an RW playing with Gaudreau as his LW.
Chiasson brings more than Hathaway.
Brouwer, Frolik, and Ferland aren't going to be scratched to play Hathaway.
So the only player that you really could scratch for Hathaway is Bouma - and then you're into a "well, Hathaway doesn't play LW" situation.
Bouma Vs. Hathaway is your conversation, and it looks like Gulutzan sees more in Bouma on the left side than he does Hathaway.
