He has had success on every line and nothing about his game has fallen so far off the map that he suddenly can't do those things anymore. He looked good as our 2LW two years ago with Backlund and Frolik. He has always been solid as our 3C. The reason he plays 4C and not 3C is because we have been trying to develop young centers like Granlund and Bennett, not because he can't play 3C successfully. I have no doubt his point totals would explode playing 3C between JVR and Marner.

Hee hee, explode? To what, 27 points? Stajan is not a good 3C on a good team. He probably shouldn't be a 4C on a mediocre team, but he is ours and I hope he does well.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
