Dude, ducks should have picked him up... hes a former duck and can play and maybe even fight better than Garrett!!! Garrett is better off in the AHL i think cause cincy has no enforcer. Stevens can skate better and actually has played on the top lines on minnesota (even though 2-4 are the same there)

Guessing from the Holmqvist demotion, I don't think we would have room for him

Well Burnett is a heavyweight and Stevenson is more like a middle weight. I don't think we could have used him.

Also rumor has it that Cincy called up George Davis just recently
so Cincy does have an enforcer
Plus Severson's down there

I just remembered how effective he was in the later part of the season and in the playoffs. I would just like to have some role players, like a McCarty. Every team needs those roughnecks. Im not sure if its lack of confidence with our team, even with guys like Simpson and Garrett, the team seems to play the puck too much. They need to be more assertive otherwise the punishment they receive will make them think twice. effecting their scoring. We lost guys like Marc and that swede (for some reason i forgot his name) who at least was good at holding the puck in the offensive zone and won battles along the boards. Thats one of the biggest things ive noticed. We need that to open cutters and scoring oportunits, we need guys standing in front of the net.
Stevenson would do well on any offensive line and can make some room for other players. So what if he gets like 5-10 goals, he has a role to play along the boards and in front of the net. Leclerc wont be back anytime soon, and he only had one good year of being a true Power forward (when he got 20 goals and 100+ pim).
I just want the cohesion they had in the playoffs, but i guess its different when they are scared of actually fighting during the season. I want to see reaction like when Boyton did when Salei boarded Thornton, I want to see the same when our fiesty Chistov gets elbowed by bastardly dmen.
Nieder Fed Sykora
Prospal Ruch Lupol
Chistov Mcdonald Leclerc(Stevenson)
Paulsson Krog Ward
ex. Johnsson, Burnett
back in cincy: Smirnov(hes not physical enough and cant score consitently yet, better to have him play a bigger/leadership role in cincy)
Trade: Byslma and Johnsson

I don't think we need a player like him. We have good team toughness. Leclerc will add to our team toughness when he returns. Carney is apart of team toughness as well. Simpson has added to our team toughness...etc...We have an official heavyweight in Burnett.

Jeremy freakin' Stevenson? He had a hard time cracking our lineup back when we had nothing, and he was a lot younger, then. Please!

A lot of Minny guys played over their heads, just like some of ours did.

He certainly cant be a worse hockey player than he is a tight end
