I think Stajan is our new faceoff specialist. He did okay against the Nucks at 58% and he was at 53% against SJ. Until there's a better option, I think we'll be seeing Stajan in the lineup lots.

Agreed. Stajan has also been playing with an edge this year. He's been playing much tougher than he used too and deserves the third line center spot IMO.
I'd like to see something like this:
Tanguay - Backlund/Cervenka - Iginla
Baertchi/Cammalleri- Cervenka/Backlund - Hudler
Cammalleri/Baertchi- Stajan - Stempniak
Glencross - Jones - Comeau/Begin/Jackman
Ultimately I'd like to have Cervenka in the #1 C spots, but I think it would be good for Cervenka and Hudler to play together to start.
It will be interesting to see what the lineup ultimately ends up looking like. I wouldn't be surprised if Tanguay stays at Center either.
