They might just rotate? Backlund has been playing a much better game, so I would hate to see him moved out, but I would hate to see anyone moved out from center at this point.
If Stajan is not in the long-term plans (and I would think with Burke making the call, he probably isn't), perhaps Burke is quietly shopping Stajan already? I would think his value would be greater near the deadline though.
Will really be interesting to see how Hartley manages this lineup. It is obvious Burke wants to see Westgarth a regular in the lineup, and it is anyone's guess at this point who sits and who ends up playing out of position.
