We don’t even have to go that far.
Stewart’s (or whichever bum’s) 4-8 minutes doesn’t actually impact the game. But too few minutes to impact the game is enough to form an evaluation on a rookie.

They desperately lacked high-energy, annoying, harassing forecheckers in the bottom 6 under Hextall.I think NAK and PIT are different from previous role players in that they do contribute in timely situations and their shifts are often real momentum shifters. NAK has been the most pleasant surprise if the season for me.
And they look like hockey players, they won puck battles, hold the puck, manage the puck, finnish some checks...And they get rewarded for honest play with the odd scoresheet contribution. I wish NAK was a little bigger so he could bruise a little more but I'll take the package as is too!They desperately lacked high-energy, annoying, harassing forecheckers in the bottom 6 under Hextall.

It didn’t seem particularly topical or important in lieu of Oskar’s return to the locker room, but when they showed him and NAK was sitting next to him, the thought may have crossed my mind, “Goddamn he thicc.”
I remember when someone here — no names! — tried to say NAK was an undersized forward over the summer. Oopsies.
