Of course he is. He's a legitmately a 3rd line NHL quality center, but he plays on a team where he happens to be the best center.
Which illustrates exactly why we would re-sign him. We need someone like him who is willing to play that role, so we can give our younger players the proper exposure and the proper ice time as they get comfortable with the NHL, versus getting them killed. Stajan gets to bite that bullet for the youngsters.
