Since his return, Stajan has had only one sub-50% face off game and quite a few in the high 60s and low 70s.

I honestly don't see the running around in the zone. That's what I saw from Bollig and, to some extent, Bouma, before Stajan returns. Stajan is much smarter with the puck, helps the D more (especially the bottom pairing). Plus, per the face off percentage, they start with the puck in the D zone a lot more, which helps.

Granlund is pretty hopeless in the circle, Jooris is OK, but not like Stajan. Colborne is Ok, but he's a better top 6 winger than bottom 6 centre IMO.
