Tell me one aspect of his game (outside faceoffs) that can't be easily replicated by someone else on the team....hell someone else in the bottom six...
His "booming shot"
?....his untimely penalties? His massive offensive production? His goalie interference penalties?

If you have a 3rd line of Gagne-Stoll-Lewis, you could use it as a shutdown-only line, freeing up the top 2 lines completely

I'll add this on to my previous post....so again of the 4 things you listed how can none of that be replicated? Even more so since A. he doesn't take defensive assignments, if anything Kopi/Richards shelter Stoll from playing against tough match-ups which he likely couldn't handle. And B. he didn't even rarely chip in points...if we don't count empty netters, he had 3 pts in 20 games....terrible.
Again nice player...but completely overrated playoffs.
