We finally have Glass at C, and even made what looks like a good trade to get a good LW for the line in Stephenson, and this instantly happens.

We could have put Eakin at 4C, where he could have flourished without the offensive pressure. We were very set up front.

Your going to be very disappointed if you think Stephenson is going to be a good fit for the third line, unless you want someone who rarely scores. He had so many chances because of his speed in Washington but couldn't put the puck in the net. That's why Washington gave up on him.

Well, they also gave up on Burakovsky. He obviously won't be another Burakovsky, but he has 3rd line upside.

They didn't give up on Burakovsky, he was moved for salary cap reasons. And you will see that Stephenson is no 3rd liner.

So, for the same reason Stephenson was moved.
No they moved him because they have a full roster and they decided Travis Boyd was a better 13th forward to keep.
Burakovsky was a third liner for the Caps that couldn't afford anymore. He makes triple the salary Stephenson makes. Stephenson was giving many chances to play third line, than demoted to fourth line and was often the 13th forward and only moved back in the line-up because of injuries.

Boyd has 250k less in salary, with Stephenson Caps would have a cap space of 5850. He was a cap casuality.

He looks fine so far, even on the 2nd line and just scored again.

Guess he just needed to be on the second line then?

Stephenson has played very well at center, you wonder if he gets healthy again if he will be right back at left wing in place of Zykov.
