This is actually a rather nice contract; cap hit is decent. He makes 25% less than David Jones, and contributes probably about 75% more to this team. Look at it like that and it's not that bad.

Up north, Boyd Gordon makes the same amount and is similar age, but Stajan is a better player overall all things considered.

Cogliano just signed a $3M / 4-year extension with Anaheim and puts up similar numbers, more or less.

Grabovski signed for $3M this year with Washington, and he had a worse year last year than Stajan did. And that was during the UFA season, as well.

If Stajan can play until the he's 33, that's good. We still need bodies on this team. I wonder if there was a NTC / NMC in this contract, however?
