If you put him on the top line with Johnny and Lindy then you got Lindy as your right handed shot for that line. The team has been swapping left handed shots in at RW for forever now and it doesnt seem to have bothered them at all.
A guy like Johnny could probably spend more time on the right side, for instance, and it'll force teams to switch up how they defend him and will allow him to get different angles and passing lanes.
I love the way Schwartz plays, and I'd rather go after him than Hyman, but it depends on the contract. The guy seems to have some injury issues over the years, committing long term money to anyone right now seems like a bad idea.
