I get why Stewart in the #1 RW to start. He's got an adrenaline rush going, said all the right things. And he's likely going to have a good game. I'm fairly certain he will get setup by Johnny and score a goal tonight.
And was also mentioned earlier, the Stars took a couple cheap shots last game against the top line and Ferland really didn't do too much to stop that. Stewart is a real life monster, and I'm willing to bet he puts a quick stop to that. Ferland has his moments, but isn't really a deterrent that often. Monahan sure isn't one. I totally get why Stewart is put in that roll. Leave the 3M line intact. So obviously someone has to drop down the depth chart, and that is Bennett.
If things don't work out, then likely Bennett is back up on line #1 and Stewart drops down to the 3rd line. I actually really like the make up of that line.
Stewart - Jankowski - Ferland
That's a beefy 3rd line. If Ferland and Stewart can feed off of each other, it has the potential to be really great.
Otherwise it's 10+ pages in a GDT. Haven't seen that in a while. Stewart the new whipping boy and he hasn't even played a game yet.
This is why I come to CP. To see the drama unfold.
