I've liked him for a long while. I really thought LA would have him play for them for a long time; considering they spent 5 years developing the kid.
When they traded him, it was one of those 'really?' moments. It'd be like us trading away Jankowski in a few years.
But hey, I'm happy. I'm also happy Dorion's a pretty lackluster GM.
Yeah, everything I keep reading just gets me more excited to see him play. I know nobody is over the moon with a couple of bottom six players...However, I also don't think fans get how shitty our bottom six was pre-deadline. I think Stewart, caveat being motivation, can slot anywhere in our lineup and help. Shore sounds like an ideal 4th line C and hopefully this means Stajan is moved to the wing or eating popcorn. For what it's worth, I've actually like Stajan's game lately, I'd just like to see what Shore can do in that role. Anything to improve our bottom six would be a serious boon to our playoff chances. Hopefully these guys are an upgrade!
