Staal is a 3C, not a top-6 player on their team. Is Michalek even a top 4 defenseman? Letang has missed almost exactly 20 games (suspensions are not injuries). So yeah, change that number to 30 and we're set. The Wild have lost Latendresse for about as long as Crosby has been out (and with him being arguably one of our two most skilled forwards, it's a fair comparison) and the rest of Pittsburgh's "top players" have missed as much time combined as Bouchard has missed alone.
