I'm Brian fan but IMO he really needs to work on his artistry and the choreographical aspects of his skating. Under the old system Brian could probably have beaten Johnny as they quad would have made a big difference. Under the new system, from what I can gather, one jump won't be the difference between winning and losing any more because there seems to be more emphasis on other aspects of the program and a lyrical skater without a quad can make up the difference against a more jumping bean skater with more difficult spins, footwork etc.
Thinking along those lines, I imagine a skater like Stephan will not be in too difficult a position when he makes a return, provided he can get all his triples and keep up the difficult spins and maybe increase the difficulty of his footwork and include more choreographical detail in the programs.
I am really interested to see how Plushenko does under the CoP.
