He made 12.5 million on his last contract. I think he's stable enough.

By stable i mean having a second career in place and choosing to remain with the organization long term.
At some point this season, the Flames are going to have to make a difficult decision with Stajan I think. Brouwer can't be moved, Freddie is tied to Dougie. Lazar will be given a long leash. Stajan is the obvious one to be moved to make room for Jankowski.
Stajan can either be a "company man" and pave the way for a second career with the organization in coaching, scouting, management or he can cut ties and explore waivers this season and UFA next season.
I don't think what I'm suggesting is particularly cold, it's just how business is run in the real world. Old veterans get pushed out by younger assets and the company man has a choice of staying in another capacity or exploring the uncertain. It's not unlike how Conroy's playing days ended.
