He is really bad when not shooting the puck

Yep. I like Stenlund in the offensive zone....not so much in the D zone. I’m hoping he can grow his defensive acumen.

Don't think he's going to keep up his 33% shooting percentage. But...I'll take it. If Tex/Domi are going to take a little while to "get going" in the middle Stenlund isn't a bad 2C option for now, especially with Bjorkstrand on his wing. Give them some oZone starts and then let him rip on the PP.

I'm not seeing this horrendously bad defensive player that others are. Sure, he's missed some assignments (Jordan Staal comes to mind) but so has this entire team.

I've really liked his game thus far. Hopefully he keeps progressing.

Defense can be learned. He's still pretty new to the NHL. Some folks just look to harp on any shortcomings. I think he's breaking out in terms of becoming a full time NHL'er.

As stated, 1 out of 3 shots has gone in the net so far, so I doubt he will stick at ppg, but I like what I see overall for him considering he wasn't slated to play at the beginning of the year.

On a team that seemingly has no idea what their doing defensively I'm willing to give him some slack. His ability to protect the puck, make good simple plays along with incredible stick skills is a much appreciated thing on this team. He really needs to be on the first PP as I think he'd help it a lot with this team's complete inability to get set up. Stenlund brings puck possession on a team that has very few guys who can do it.

I think he might be playing baseball in his off time

Can't argue with results, but when you watch Stenlund play and realize he's playing in our top 6, you know just how starved we are for center help.
