I thought Stajan had a really good game last night. The guy takes quite a bit of flak on this site because of his contract and because he's older than 25, but man, he's an important part of this team. He's constantly talking to the refs and linesmen, he makes good decisions with the puck, he's physical, he's an underrated playmaker and he puts his head down and accepts the fact that he's playing 4th line C. Great mentor and it's frustrating when people just want to ship him out because he's a vet or because he's "dead weight". He is the very least of this team's weaknesses. I actually think that he could easily and effectively play 3rd line C. More and more I'm thinking that #11 is becoming expendable.
