I've watched the pairing up of David Backes and Chris Stewart (centered by Andy McDonalad) on our top line for four games now and, while it works just fine, it is a luxury we cannot afford. Our second line, Oshie and Steen centered by Berglund, lacks a little muscle. My suggestion is for Steen and Backes to swap spots.
This would give us:
First Line: Steen - McDonald - Stewart
Second Line: Backes - Berglund - Oshie
Third Line: D'Agostini - Sobotka - Boyes (This line has been excellent.)
Fourth Line: Three of the various other guys.
Now, this won't help us win games this year as our defense is simply too young to keep pucks out of the net consistently, but we should be better offensively.
And maybe, just maybe, we could be fun to watch. I don't think that is too much to ask considering we will not be watching the Blues in the playoffs. Again.
