Looks like RW Chris Stewart makes his #Flames debut tonight with a couple decent linemates — guys named Gaudreau and Monahan.

a. Is it a demotion? Or just trying line combos?
b. There are a number of potential reasons, whether you agree or not. This move causes less disruption throughout the lineup, puts a guy kinda like Ferland in Ferland's spot, puts a big scary dude alongside the top stars, takes advantage of any "new team/first game" energy that Stewart has and maybe helps him off to a good start after the move.
