Chris Stewart put up 36 points this season between two teams. That’s above the league average and with elite scorers now more rare than ever, insulation guys like Stewart can be big parts to a teams success. Stewart saved his season a little in Buffalo and could still merit a decently sized contract come free agency.
While I would certainly consider offering Stewart a contract, there are a few reasons why NHL GM’s might shy away from signing a large cheque with Stewart’s name attached.
