I didn't love Stewart on the 1st line last night, but I think he can have a significant role in the bottom 6 depending on chemistry. I did notice some of the problems he may have had in Minnesota of being behind the play a little in terms of mental anticipation and hockey sense, but he's definitely not slow in terms of footspeed. Not a burner either, but he can get to places quickly when he wants to.
I'm looking forward to seeing Shore tonight. When I watched him in L.A. I always noticed him playing a solid overall game with the ability to score some goals and create some offense. I'm hopeful that he can do to the 4th line what Jankowski did to the 3rd line.
