Stajan's been tied to some anchors this season in Bollig and Jones. There have been times where his line has been genuinely effective. Colborne-Stajan-Jones was arguably our best line early this year. Jooris on Stajan's RW has also been effective. And I was really a fan of Grant on Stajan's LW today.
Stajan is not a traditional 4th line center, and due to our abundance of top 6 centers (Backlund, Monahan, and now Bennett) it's tough to find a 3rd line role for him.
I would prefer his cap hit go to a guy like Eriksson too.
But Matt Stajan can be effective. Just get him the F away from these Bolligs and such.
