I'd replace St Louis with a bigger winger, a more physical player that also has good hands.
Haha, Nash comes to mind but lets leave him out of this... Mike Richards could work...or someone similar to Todd Bertuzzi in his prime.

I think St. Louis and Tavares are upgrades on versions of players that Bergeron has played with in Boston in Marchand and Lucic. St. Louis is a small shifty winger with skill and a nose for the net. Tavares, while not as physical and mean as Lucic, is a big body that likes to get into the corners and dig it out. And he's got a bit of a mean streak himself.
I also think the 4th line of Benn - Getzlaf - Perry more than makes up for any lack of size on the rest of the roster.
The subs (Carter, Nash, and Hall) are all big physical guys too, if they need to be slotted in.
