I would like to see something like this when healthy. I have a feeling that stewart will come out hot- I think he would fit better than Brouwer did on that line and Backlund can cover some of his deficiencies to maximize his impact. Meanwhile Frolik and Ferland add a lot of punch to that 3rd line for Jankowski to feed off of, and steady shore can centre the rejuvenated spark plug curtis lazar with a pinch of offense from Versteeg.
Brouwer/ Stajan to plug holes when necessary.
Until the injuries work themselves out:
Frolik-Jankowski-Lazar
Brouwer-Shore-Hathaway
Stajan
I think we should move Frolik down to the bottom 6. He is good enough to prop up a 3rd line a bit, but not really good enough to be a legit top 6 threat.

Even if Frolik isn't good enough to be a second liner (debatable as a 40 point guy) why is Stewart a legit top six threat? He only cracked 40 once, 8 years ago, and hasn't seen 30 points in 5 years.
I would, however, use Stewart on the right side of a power play, because he has a really good RH shot.
