I doubt Stewart plays more than the first period on that top line. Or so I would hope.
It's actually a real tough spot to put him in. If it were me, I'd want to transition to a new team by starting in a lesser role so I had time to learn the systems without too much pressure, and without peeving any of my new teammates. This kind of forces him front and center on day 1, and gives him the pressure of contributing - and specifically producing points - right out of the gate.
