How would you tell where he ends and the sh*t begins?Maybe he's been busy pooping
I picture him on the couch watching the Price is Right drinking a 2L Pepsi.
. kinda looks like that canada dry guy, who is sitting in the fountain and has found nurvana.
I think I was spot on. Of course they thought signing Stewart was the better option....Glad he didn't get $725,000 so we don't have to endure 20 pages of the "overpayment".
He should be the 13th forward assuming Frost or some other kid grabs that last top 9 spot. Let him get in games when injuries occur or b2b splitting games with Pitlick.

Yeah...much better to risk losing NAK on waivers.No, they thought benching Stewart (has only played 13 games) was a better idea, and having NAK go back to LHV to play on a regular basis.
You don't put young players in the press box to fester.
If you replace Stewart, it would be with someone like Andreoff who has no upside.
Such laughable drivel from the Hak-apologist who gets proved wrong over and over and over again. 40 minutes without a goal and he "can't finish to save his life".
The only difference between NAK now and last year is that an actual NHL head coach is giving him a chance to play.
Yeah...much better to risk losing NAK on waivers.
You don't need to defend every move Mgt makes. If NAK played 16 games(Stewy's 13+3 of his own) this year so far AND got to practice with NHLers...is that so bad? It's stupid to DELIBERATELY make your team worse. NAK at age 23 AND having to clear waivers, 100% should have been the cheap 13th forward and Stewart should have never been signed. It's ****ing obvious....except to the "he will never play" crowd.
NAK developed so much more playing AHL games #218 to #243 than he would have done in the NHL.
I remember he sat an entire period last season. No, not the 3rd period either. How do you mismanage your bench that badly that you can't even get a [young] player one shift in a period?The only difference between NAK now and last year is that an actual NHL head coach is giving him a chance to play.
The sad part is NAK is much better at the things Stewart was "supposed" to bring to the team. He actually has a physical presence and can keep opponents on their toes. His ceiling has been limited for some time now, but I never doubted he could provide some value at this level. He's a meat and potatoes guy, but he's not without some physical tools. Watch him skate with the puck. Typical 4th line players don't do that. He's even PKing in the NHL. Something they failed to even try at all in the AHL under Hextall's watch.Yeah...much better to risk losing NAK on waivers.

Yeah I certainly defer to those of you that got to watch him in LV. And the things mentioned by the trusted group that I remember are:I remember he sat an entire period last season.
