I already said that I am not impressed that he's put up points early. He's streaky. That's what Stempniak does. Did you guys that were unhappy when we signed him, but have changed your mind now, think that he was just going to Stajan-out and stop producing? No, this is what he does. This is what we knew he was, when we kept him.

30 games seems a good benchmark I think.

Also thinking about what happens to Baertschi when he gets back. He should be in a top 9 role, right? So who gets benched. Or is he getting sent down to Abby.
