Good chance the replacement FA we bring in is just as frustrating but at this point Stempniak (and many others) have worn out their welcome for me.

At least someone like 35 year old Brendan Morrow once was a leader and might be able to explain to the kids what it takes to be a winner in the NHL. The team might listen to him/ respect him unlike Stempniak who being forced into the leadership role called out the team for lack of effort and the next game got a beat down from Ference and then went 2 months without scoring.
There is no one on the current Flames roster that has gone through being a leader on a top team like Morrow.
Morrow is only making 1.5 this year in St.L so the 2.5 the Flames save by dumping Stempniak might be enough.
