Stajan is a perfect #3 centre. Realistically if we get rid of everyone that CP wants to, we're going to be severely under the cap for next year, and the only way to be over the cap would be by grossly overpaying a bunch of free agents (Face it, free agents aren't throwing themselves to come to Calgary during the beginning of a rebuild), and screwing ourselves in the future. If Stajan wants to stay here and can be signed for a reasonable amount in a short-term deal - this works out well for all parties.
