I was referring to Spezzas last few years with miscast guys like Greening, Butler, etc.The only top 6 centre they have is Duchene & others have stated they should not play together but be separated to drive their own lines. So which is it? IMO once they decide Brown is ready to bring up then I would play him with Stone giving Stone a top line centre. Spezza had Heatley & Alfredsson on his wings for a few yrs so I'm not sure what that means. Sometimes you have to spread the wealth to make the team as a whole better but there is also something to be said for putting all your best players together. I think in due time they will have enough very good players which Ottawa should be able to ice three good lines.
I'm not saying it can be fixed right now, just taking issue with the Stone can carry anyone theme awe see a lot. Id actually prefer to see what he can do with players more equipped to contribute offensively rather than carrying guys like Smith and Pageau to 20g 20a numbers, feels like a missed opportunity. I also disagree with the philosophy of splitting up Duchene and him, id like to see them together more often and piece the rest together the best you can.
