Perhaps some people see it for what it is, and not through their pre-concieved biases?
Stajan is a flawed player. That's why he gets $3 million instead of $5+. Offensively unreliable, but capable of going on streaks. Hard working, willing to accept any role, someone the team trusts to put out in nearly any situation. In short, the kind of attitude we want the kids with the talent to emulate.
Stajan fills a need, simple as that. He doesn't fill the top line, consistent high scoring need, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have brought him back. It will take time for the likes of Monahan and (hopefully) Baertschi to grow into those roles.
