Wouldn't it have made more sense just to pay Hathaway?

You're fourth line is always going to cost a minimum of 3 x League Minimum. That won't change.
So they haven't wasted money bringing guys in on PTOs at league minimum.
Derek Ryan played some fourth line with a big ticket, and Lucic may be getting pushed that direction this year. Ryan likely not overpaid so much because he could move up the roster and was a key penalty killer. Lucic obviously overpaid, but has played 3rd line to date.
But making a call to move on from fourth line players that want double with term is never a bad idea ... and I like Hathaway as I said.
