It would be great to see it on Stajan as well, but I'm not convinced he has a lasting role on the roster unfortunately.

McGrattan is more of an example of leadership without a letter. An absolutely amazing character, stand up team guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. But giving the letter to someone who doesn't get a whole lot of ice time isn't worth it. He's fantastic in the role he's in, and I love the guy, but it'll be all he'll be. Especially at his age.
Backlund and Glencross get my vote. Stajan if one of them is injured, followed by Hudler.
