I'm good with this deal and hope they both play at the same time.
I'd rather they run 3 forward lines and have an extra forward (who can fill in on the top 3 lines) on the 4th line centering the goons.
Honestly, is anyone actually entertained by the likes of Galiardi, Jones, Stempniak, Stajan? I'd rather watch the Hudler, Cammy, Monahan, Backlund, etc get more ice time AND have the goons beat some guys up.
This team sucks and is going to lose more games than not. At least provide some entertainment in the form of skill guys playing more and tough guys beating up the opposition.
No more vanilla players. You either be skilled, be truculent, or both.

I tend to agree with you. This is the direction Burke is moving..
We have a lot of 2nd/3rd liner veterans who are inconsistent at scoring &/or providing a physical spark.
Players like Stajan, Stempniak, Jones and Galiardi are mostly replaceable because of this.
