It's a lot easier putting up points when you're getting 3 minutes of powerplay a game and don't care about defense like Cammalleri and Tanguay. Stajan was charged with shutting down the other teams top line every night. And he did it with a + rating on a team that gave up 113 5-on-5 goals. (Florida gave up 99 and the next worst team gave up 89). If everyone played above their cap hit like Stajan did, this is a President Trophy winning team.
Unless a team overpays for him, I'd be all for re-signing him short-term. Let the youngins see what playing 200 feet looks like from him.

I have liked Stajan's game this year but he needs to go at the deadline if the flames draft a potential #1 center. Reinhart and Backlund will have hopefully have secured 2 center spots by the deadline and the newbie will need to start getting ice time the following season.
