You cant get rid of all of the vets, even when their production doesnt merit their wages, the Oilers have shown us this.
Until the Flames are in cap trouble we need some of the old guard to help the kids through the lean patches.
Because realistically, you're going to get more value out of keeping a guy like Stajan than you're ever going to get back in a trade.

If Stajan and Glencross are going to be depended on as a steadying influence the Flames are in trouble. I rather the Flames rely on guys like Hudler, Raymond and Giordano.
Getting rid of Stajan wouldn't make us the Oilers. The Oilers had many veterans during the past 8 years. The lack of crappy veterans was not the Oilers problem.
I want to see the Flames move Stajan and Glencross and walk away from Setoguchi and McGrattan. Sign a RW UFA.
IMO Next years forward line-up should be:
Gaudreau Monahan Hudler
Raymond Backlund UFA/Ferland
Granlund Bennett Colborne
Bollig Jooris Bouma
Jones(IR) Byron
