Normally there is a rough idea to how a players year is expected to go, but with these 2 it is a crapshoot and you'll get varying answers I suspect.

The Blues roll 3 "scoring" lines, and Stewart will find himself on the second or third one, who will likely see similar time. What PP time he gets is largely down to how quickly Tarasenko adjusts to the NHL. Expect he'll be mainly used at ES, but all the spots on our PP unit are basically up for grabs, so if he gets a good start he'll be there. I'll guess he'll be around 20-25 goals and similar in assists.

I expect Ian Cole will start the season partnering Pietrangelo, and will be given the chance to make that spot his own. He'll almost exclusively be used ES though. If he doesn't fit that role, then he could find himself on the third line with Russell.
