Stenlund has some tools but really has a lot of work to do. He has to get better defensively, should be physical for a guy his size, and he has to get better with the puck. He gets it taken away fairly easily. I have compared him to McInnis before and he isn't as good as him. Better goal scorer, but all around player McInnis has played better. Stenlund needs to insert himself in the play more and fight for and win puck battles. Actually for a bigger guy he seems to get knocked around a bit. As far as playing on an NHL power play right now, he needs to play better on an AHL power play first. If he is that good, the Monsters power play wouldn't be so awful. Desalvo is playing in the playoffs over him is because he brings more speed and is more willing to go to the dirty areas and play defensively. He may have been a -15 in the regular season, but Stenlund was -17. In the playoffs Desalvo is a +3 and with 2 points and Stenlund is a zero plus/minus and one point. After watching Stenlund all year it is really no surprise he is having a hard time breaking the lineup. I hope he improves because he can be a good player, but he has a ways to go.
