Then you have 3 actual lines.
Hathaway - the guy is a 4th liner at best, really a fringe player /AHLer.
Brouwer has not shown great value for money but has been deployed in the bottom 6 blender.
They can’t get rid of Gulutzan quickly enough.

In this case, there was good reason for that. He's not been good enough as a top 6 guy.
Brouwer being deployed in the bottom 6 blender is largely his fault because he was crap for 80% of last year when he got hurt and hasn't been much better for a good portion of this year.
He had a fair chance to redeem himself this year by getting a regular shot in the top 6 earlier in the year but he whiffed on that chance.
