With Monahan and Backlund cemented at centre, I suspect that Arnold is behind Shore, Colborne, Jooris, Granlund and Bennett in addition to Stajan. He may be behind Jankowski soon.

Monahan will quickly become a $6-$7M player and at that point we will have our 4th line centre Stajan making $3.1M for another 2 years. Stajan is a fine utility player but in a year or 2 he is not going to be necessary as the Flamea are loaded up the middle and guys like Monahan and Backlund can and will be much better at doing the heavy lifting.
Next summer his cap hit should be something the Flamea should consider getting rid of. Especially if they want to keep Hudler and Russell in addition to the raises for Monahan, Gaudreau, and Giordano
