Lots of wailing about the team getting softer, but Hathaway didn't play a lot of minutes, so his physical impact was fairly minimal. What you ideally want is your top ice-time players having that edge. That's where some work needs to be done.

Hathaway had 200 hits in his limited minutes. Is Bennett going to play his playoff style game for 82 games?
Is there anyone else in the Flames org that plays Hathaway style?
