A coach does not choose what players are on his roster. Once the top three lines are put together, the fourth line can only be made up of the leftovers. The question is, out of the four or five remaining forwards, which ones you scratch and which ones you try to cobble together into some kind of working line.
Most teams' fourth lines are pretty much replacement-level garbage. Some are bad offensively, some defensively, and some are just hopeless all around, but they are all bad in some way or they would be playing higher up.

Not sure what Treliving was thinking when he signed Rooney.

Craig Conroy signed Rooney to his current contract.
What he was probably thinking: ‘Holy smokes, we have no centres! At least Rooney knows the position, unlike a converted winger.’
