Love Stajan, have loads of respect for the guy and feel like he would be a good fit still with the right team but we can't have him on the books for 2 more years after this season, especially when you consider that the cap may go down instead of up/same, we have guys like Janko knocking and we have big contracts to hand out in Monahan/Gaudreau/Bennett and a few others... Plus we really do need to make a splash in the Free agent market, mostly for a proven starter but for some help on the right wing too...
Engelland also is tradeable now with Jokipakka joining the fold and guys like Nakladal/Wotherspoon/Kulak and more knocking.
Treeliving's biggest task so far will be the off-season:
Construct the two biggest contracts in the history of the Flames
Free up dead weight i.e. Bollig/Raymond/Smid
Move out players who aren't dead weight but need to go Stajan/Engelland
Find a proven starter
Find size/skill player for the right side
Potentially select the highest pick in franchise history
RFA contracts: Colborne/Jooris/Ortio/Wotherspoon/Arnold/Agostino/Shore/Grant/Hamilton
Janko
Should be a fun draft/off-season
