I think it will be wise to experiment with Backes on RW and Stastny with Farasenko in pre-season and for the first several weeks of the season, while Lehterä recovers his conditioning and shakes off the rus. THEN, with ose new combos tested, IF successful, they can be used later, if a change is needed. Or, if they start off the season hot, they can be ridden out, until they cool off, and can also be returned to later, if needed.
I, too, think that the Steen, Stastny, Tarasenko line, or Schwartz, Stastny Tarasenko lines make the team too "top heavy". I fully expect Lehterä to be significantly more effective this season, and The Blues should take advantage of his chemistry with Tarasenko, to form TWO very solid scoring lines, rather than having just one.
