I don’t want to touch the first two lines, so I’d put him on third and move Steve.
Keep top 3 lines as they are as long as Stephenson holds up
4th line of DSP-Backstrom-Beagle
Good luck matching that
I think you have to keep a top 5 faceoff guy in the league at C
I kind of agree with this. How do you sit 39 or 10?65 has to be the odd man out. Somehow.

I might give Bura 1 game to earn a spot once Backstrom comes back. If he can’t earn his spot back, he should sit until somebody gives him a chance by playing poorly.
Burakovsky has to earn his spot in the lineup when Backstrom is back, in my opinion. It's a four horse race between he, DSP, Chiasson, and Connolly for three jerseys. He's done little to earn a spot in the lineup over those three thus far. He's easily the weakest player along the boards amongst the forwards, he still takes too long to get his shots off, he doesn't PK, he doesn't block shots particularly well.... simply put, if he's not producing offense he's not really contributing anything. Peak Burakovsky could look outstanding on a line with Backstrom and Stephenson but he needs to earn that right.
