Stajan?
Get real.

Please, here are the 5 on 5 linemates he's had by ice time over the last four years, and the guys who he has played 500+ minutes with:
Total Ice Time Played - 3857:23
James Van Riemsdyk - 2767:12
Phil Kessel - 1760:38
Mitch Marner - 861:30
PAP - 538:50
Here are the forwards Stajan has hit the 500 minute mark with since 2010:
Total IceTime - 5506:27
Lance Bouma - 1105:23
Lee Stempniak - 798:43
Curtis Glencross - 735:36
David Jones - 703:11
Alex Tanguay - 594:46
Jarome Iginla - 584:11
Micheal Ferland - 504:48
Bozak is not that good. He has just had the best linemates possible. Something we can't replicate unless you want Tkachuk and Gaudreau flanking him. When Stajan had linemates of that Caliber, he was a 55 point guy himself. And Stajan is better defensively.
Again, even if Bozak is better offensively, which is debateable, Calgary shouldn't offer much for Tyler Bozak. He was a sheltered 3rd line center last year who had a superstar RWer and a top 6 star power forward LWer.
