While it's true some here have been overly critical of him for sure there are also a group that recognizes he's been an important player for this team over his last contract and realizes he's on the decline and his role is likely going to be marginalized in the coming years. I'm not pushing him out the door because I can't wait for the next shiny toy. I'm pushing him out the door because I don't think he's worth what he's going to be expecting on this next deal especially given that he's somewhat fragile which may get worse as he ages. The Stajan deal IMO doomed him as you can't have too many veteran players on the decline tied up long term when you are rebuilding.
