That's exactly what I thought when we picked him up. Decent player, tough as nails. HUGE deterrent, and fit right into Calgary's identity at the time. Now I know Stewart doesn't fit our identity this year, but you can't argue that he doesn't make all the players play bigger when he's on the ice. Kassian would have been chasing Lazar around the ice losing his marble(s) last night after "high sticking" Mcdavid, but as you can see his mouth was sewn shut and gloves firmly cemented on when Stewart was on the ice with him.
Let's just hope Stewart doesn't get penalties for breathing on another player like Simon did.
