The Flames need to reach the cap floor for next season and will have trouble attracting UFAs when the team will be at the bottom of the standings. They also need a guy that can play center at both ends of the ice against teams top lines while developing young prospects. Given Stajan's resurgence over the past two seasons and his respect in the locker room and community, he seems like a good fit. 4 years might be a little on the long side, but in all likelihood that is how long this rebuild will take before seeing much success.
