He shouldn't be looked at as solution to depth scoring, but to provide an energy player to what should be an energy line.
All they should hope to accomplish is to get the puck deep, bash some bodies, be hard on the forecheck and try to win their shift by spending time outside their own zone doing these things.
The 4th as it is now plays the game the same way as the other lines and look terrible doing it.
Hathaway - Lazar - Brouwer/Hamilton depending on jagrs status.
Glad to see the flames not putting their head in the sand due to the winning record. The team has played little solid/good hockey so far, it is important to try to rectify things rather than ignoring it due to the results.
Good on them.
