Bottom line is we needed to sign a couple of our UFAs because a Lineup of

Bouma - Monahan - Sven
Glencross -Backlund - Hudler
Gaudreau - Colborne - Poirier
McGrattan - Street - Westgarth

Gio - Brodie
Wideman - Russell
SOB - Butler

Ramo
Ortio

will not be anywhere near the cap floor, sure we can go after UFAs that hit the market but the good ones are going to be looking for long term + big $ figures

With Stajan we can probably get a 3 year deal at the same price which is likely the best option for us at this point in time.

Ontop of all that, Stajan would probably fetch the least at the deadline out of Cammy, Stempniak and himself, so to me this is almost necessary.
