Not sure if the Grant stuff was posted. Sounds to me like we'll struggle to keep him here unless we can give him a decent shot at playing in the NHL. But with Monahan, Bennett, Backlund and Stajan coming back next season, I don't see a place for Grant. Well, I do, as 4th line centre. But can we move Stajan out, what with the possible expansion draft, the dwindling number of veteran forwards on the team, his bad contract etc?
Be interesting to see how this one plays out.

Stajan could also make the move over the to the wing - it would just need to be stressed to Grant that the 4th line C spot is his to lose, and that Stajan is being transitioned out of that role to 3/4 line LW
