It is hardly unheard of.

The argument isn't that you have to load up your top line with your best forwards. A complimentary player with 2 stars makes sense when it's the right complimentary player, like Ferland. What doesn't make sense is throwing any old player with 2 stars and expecting it to work out. It's not the philosophy in general we have a problem with - it's Stewart specifically.
A team with a grand total of 3 forwards who can finish strapped a waiver-wire boat anchor to 2 of them, and lo and behold they get shutout.
