If I had my way, I'd re-sign Backlund 3-4 year deal at whatever, move Byron in a package deal to make an upgrade somewhere at the deadline.

I feel Stajan's last year is this year in CGY.

As for Bouma, whats good? 3 years 6m? He's never going to be top 6 but definitely a premier bottom 6 FWD. Certainly needs to be re-signed.
I don't see the problem, honestly.

Monahan
Backlund
Bennett/Granlund
Stajan

two youngsters and two veterans. With Glencross probably leaving, there's also a spot on the wing to be had, and since both Bennett and Granlund can play on the wing too, I don't see a logjam. The good thing with Stajan is that he can play up and down the lineup ... he's a good veteran to have on your team, I think.
