Or you play him with AO, make it one of the most physically dominating lines in hockey, and let Backstrom and Semin play together for a frighteningly dominant second line.

That would work too, but Arnott’s been more of a finisher due to the Preds lacking goal scorers in the recent years. The only reason it might not work as well is Arnott’s health and his age

That’s ridiculous. You cannot make the argument that Backs wouldn’t be an absolutely stellar 3rd line center.

F&B (or Hooks) was NOT saying that Backs wouldn’t make a stellar 3rd line… just saying that perhaps JStaal was a better fit. You’re both saying the same thing, relax.
It’s all cool with me and Knee High, no worries. He knows how much I like Nick and how much I hate the Staals. He’s preaching to the choir, and he knows it.
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.
I think JS could put up a lot more offensive numbers given the proper linemates and more ice time. As much as Backs puts up? Almost certainly not…but as a situational fit I can see him working better in Pitt.
