The mere suggestion that putting Sven on a line with Stempniak (a 20 goal scorer) is somehow going to weaken him is ridiclous. But that's ricardodw for you.

I agree, in fact I think someone with a good shot like Stempniak could be an excellent player for Baertschi to play with.
I am more unsure of Backlund centering that line than Stempniak and Baertschi being the wingers to be honest. I think those 2 could will generate 30-40 points each and IMO if they have a centerman that can produce at least 35 points I think both have a shot at surpassing 40 points.
I also don't think Sempniak is as soft as he is made out to be either, he was 6th in hits amongst Flames forwards last year despite playing only 61 games, in his final year in Phoenix he put up 124 hits and the season before that he was just over a hit per game.
