I'd rather have Lazar play 13th forward and have given Hathaway another 2way deal but what can you do. This pretty much means Hathaway will be the 13th forward so now we've got to figure out what to do for a 4th line.
I feel were 2+ heavy in the forward group and 1+ heavy on the backend with the 1 way deal for Prout + Kulak leaving no "room" for Andersson/Valimaki without a subtraction.

Funny - I was wondering whether his qualifying offer had to be one way, but it seems like it didn't. It would have if he'd played 60 games last year but he only played 59. That makes me wonder if that number of games was intentional by Treliving (even though he didn't end up giving a one way QO as far as I know).
ETA: I think I'm wrong there - there are three criteria for a one way QO and it reads like they all have to be met (Hathaway didn't have the other two either).
