^ I don't hate the idea of a tough physical winger with the smaller skilled forwards, and I do agree that McGrattan, when given the opportunity, can actually score some goals in front of the net. However, that shouldn't be a permanent line for someone at the level of Cammalleri who is easily our best goal scorer. Somebody needs to feed HIM the puck, not the other way around.
If I were to put McGrattan on the same line as anyone, it would be Baertschi. He's already taken a few wallops already in his career and needs someone on the ice with him to keep the other players honest. David Jones would be ok, but nobody is intimidating like Grats is. If I were to make lines in that scenario it would be something like this:
Cammalleri-Backlund-Hudler
Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak
Baertschi-Monahan-McGrattan
Bouma-Galiardi-Jackman
