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.

I agree. Look at the Islanders. When a fourth line clicks, keep it together. That said, maybe he wanted to be closer to home.
