Pens Claim Stewart - Edit
The Penguins have claimed left wing Karl Stewart from the Anaheim Ducks. Stewart has spent the bulk of his career in the AHL and looks to continue that trend in Pittsburgh. He was originally signed as a free agent by the Atlanta Thrashers.
I assume this is a move to add some depth in Wilkes-Barre Scranton. He projects as no better than a 4th line energy guy in the NHL.

As I look and read a bit more about Stewart, he will probably be used in a 4th line role in the NHL to start the season. At least throughout the rest of training camp. He would have to clear waivers to report to WBS and I doubt the Penguins would have wasted the claim just to have him re-claimed by Anaheim.
The probably hurts the chances of Ryan Stone or Dan Carcillo making the team, but we will see!
