I'm less concerned about Stutzle because he just had two huge upgrades on the wing and he's a young center.
Just look at DeBrincat and Giroux together. It's insane. They look amazing.
What an upgrade from Brown and Formenton. In less than a year Stutzle has gone from the wing to center with two third line wingers (who can fill in on the second line in a pinch to be fair to them) to a center with two superstar wingers. That's a lot for any young player to take in.
And the playstyles are so radically different from Brown and Formenton's north-south style. It's going to take time but you have to believe Stutzle can do it. We've seen him do it with the puck. Now he needs to learn to do without the puck as often and read opportunities that DeBrincat and Giroux will provide.
