I'm starting to sour on Stewart a little bit. I mean, he excelled playing in a more open system in Colorado and then struggled when he moved to a more defensive system in St. Louis. Isn't the latter a little closer to what we'll be playing under Carlyle?

Yeah, could be a problem... Who knows?

I don't think it's the system, I think it's Stewart maturing and being ready to play every night. The guy should be able to play any system thrown at him but its a matter of him showing up every night. So to me that means the right coach can figure out how to keep him motivated, he will take off.
It's a bit of a buy low opportunity in one sense, or if the trade revolves around Kulemin then it's a trade of a struggling player for another one.
Stewart may not return to 30 goal status but he will throw his weight around a lot, has great wheels and would a great size upgrade to the top nine with plenty of upside. We need all that stuff.

That's the Malachi crunch.
Thumbs up for good use of a pretty obscure reference.

LOL, might be obscure today, but for me growing up as a kid, Happy Days was THE SHOW. Everyone loved the Fonz and all his sidekicks. Pinky Tuscadero suffered the Malachi crunch, I was worried for her.

Oh, I know. I was a little inclined to say obscure to everybody probably mid-30s and younger, not quite so much for us older folk.
I wonder if anybody can nail down exactly when Happy Days jumped the shark...?

It's not as if I/others believe Kulemin will never rebound from a rough year and that's why we are suggesting he be traded.

LOL, the phrase "jump the shark" comes from Happy Days when Fonz actually jumped a shark on a show. Good times!

Yeah, I know about the shark episode and the origin of the phrase; that was the basis for my little joke...

You couldn't just let it go could you?

The only way that scene is more awesome is if Fonz was in his trademark jeans as opposed to the shorts. Love how he can only trust Richie to drive the boat as he risks his life. *wipes a tear*
