Still drives me crazy that Hathaway got away for the paltry amount of 1.5 M a year. To those that are acting like 4 years is too much term, give your head a shake, its 1.5 M. His hits, sandpaper, willingness to go to the net to stir shiz up and ratlike ability of drawing penalties was worth the 1.5 alone, especially on this team which is really REALLY lacking these abilities.

Nevermind the fact that he actually does have some speed, good defensive play and can put up some offense.

Hath was also one of the few guys who brought it every shift in the playoffs and didn't allow Colorado to get him off his game.

IMO this is a much bigger loss for this team than people are grasping.
