The Flames have two different problems with their bottom six right now.
The obvious one is a lack of scoring, which I agree Hathaway is unlikely to solve.
The other one is a lack of speed and the fact that they get run over on a nightly basis.
Given the way the bottom half of this roster is going, I'd take "energy" and "safe" as a step up even without production. Play the other team to a tie and let the upper half of the club look after it.
Last night was a mess for the fourth line.
