Hathaway has simmered down a bit after the jump of the initial couple games as expected. Eventually you'd probably look to Jagr slotting back in with Bennett and Janko and Hathaway ideally on line 4 but you wonder if that bumps him back down to the farm cause of the numbers game. Or perhaps Familton gets the short straw.
Jagr brings too much experience and knows better than nearly anyone on earth how to generate offense, if not for himself than for his young linemates. If he's 100% healthy then he's still the best option we have on that 3RW.
Remember what Jagr said about it potentially taking him month/s to get back into game shape if he played elsewhere. He came in way ahead of that, whether it be for the games played record I'm not sure, but resting and conditioning him can only do good.
