The past few games have got me thinking:
I wonder if we should go full on skill with the top two lines when Stastny returns, and use Backes as a checking line center, seeing as how we put him in to shut down the other team's top line anyway.
Steen-Stastny-Oshie (hope that these two get Oshie to play like his old self again, plus Oshie and Staz were great together earlier this year in Sochi)
Schwartz-Lehtera-Tarasenko (needs no explanation)
Berglund-Backes-Lindstrom (shutdown line with the defensive capabilities and big bodies of Backes and Berglund, the speed and skill of Lindstrom added on)
Ott-Lapierre-Reaves (needs no explanation...although I still wish we had the CPR line here
).
Extras: Jaskin, Porter and Paajarvi (the latter either gets traded or spends the season in the pressbox, where he belongs)
Other than that, I wonder if, instead of trading for a scoring winger like some amongst the fanbase have suggested, we bring up Rattie.
Just my 0.02.
