Hopefully it will be a good bottom floor for our upcoming centers. "If you want to play top 6 minutes then you need to be better at hockey than Matt Stajan. If not you can work on your game in the minors."
That's not to say there isn't a danger of keeping guys in the minors to justify paying Stajan's salary, but there are always injuries and guys will get opportunities to establish themselves.
So long as the deal doesn't have a prohibitive NMC, the deal is okay. Nothing to get too excited about either way.
