Pekarcik had 0 goals in his first 8 games. In those next 16 games he has 9 goals, 12 assists, and 21 points. He scored 9 goals in 43 games last season, completely different leagues, but still nice to see him scoring goals too.
I don’t know that I necessarily agree, but Blues brass thought that the Q would be a step up for him competition wise. It’s clearly been an adjustment for JP, but it’s good to see the waters calming for him as the season goes on.
If both him and Stancl can become bottom-6 energy guys with size, speed, and playmaking ability, we’ll be in a fairly good position. I only wish one of them was a center.

Yeah, I'm hopeful we can get a player out of Stancl, Pekarcik, Kos, and Jecho.

Yeah, Stancl and Jecho are centers. Stancl centers the top line with Cristall. On one hand, it's good that he's centering the top line, on the other, we should take his stats with a grain of salt because of Cristall.
He has been on fire lately though.

I think if you swapped the two players over the first third of their seasons, Jecho would have even bigger numbers than Stancl, similarly situated
As an aside, in terms of ranginess & body movements (not production or skillset), Jecho is closer to Toropchenko with the way he gets after it and Stancl is closer to a Patrick Berglund with his body control for a bigger guy
Yeah, I don't expect him to be big NHL point producer. Does give hope that he could develop into 3c longeterm for us...

Yep, if we can develop those bottom 6 pieces internally, it'll save us a lot of money, so we don't have to get vets in trades or free agency to fill the gaps.
And having actual centers will help when we have injuries. Like in the couple seasons after the Cup and we had guys like ROR, Schenn, Bozak, Thomas, Sunny, and Barbie that could all play center if needed when injuries hit.
