I've thought Lazar and Hathaway have looked good this year, and a reduced role for Hathaway on the fourth line would limit the expectation that he put up points on the 3rd line, where he currently plays. Shore has looked very responsible as a centre in the games he has played for the flames. I don't think that these 3 players are the weakest part of the team at all, and all play with a lot of energy that can wear down an opponent's defense.
The third line with Ferland and Wilson would address the weak part of the roster, providing a heavier 3rd line that I could see scoring a lot more goals while providing a much needed physical presence to the team.
