Before anybody tries to say that he "shelters" our other centers, know that this year he has faced the weakest competition among Backlund, Monahan, Colbourne and Byron.
The four year extension he was given by Burke last year was a mistake (as many of us instantly knew), even moreso if Bennett is able to make the team next year.
Not sure if anyone would want to take on his contract at $3.175 over the next 4 years. I just know I don't want to watch him in a Flames uniform till 2018. Sad that he is our player with the longest contract other than the extension that TJ Brodie just signed.

I don't hate Stajan but I agree with you. I was wondering the same thing on why the Flames signed him for extension. I thought he will be traded before the trade deadline last season. I just can't figure his role with the Flames. He is not a first line or second line centre. i don't even consider him as a 3rd line centre and he is way too expensive as the 4th line centre. Anyways we are stuck with him so I guess we just hope that he can help out the team.
