There's only 2 teams in the entire conference with less ROWs than thus flames team. This isn't just a function of inflated expectations.

I know it goes against every fibre of some Flames 'fans' existence, but there are some intelligent people working for the Flames. I know, hard to accept but it's true.
Stajan is on the team for a reason. It might not always be clear to those of us on the outside, but I choose to side with he organization on this. Further, if it gets to the point where they can't put him out there anymore, they won't. As long as there is a replacement that has earned it, they will replace him.
My bet is that by the end of the year/playoffs Stajan is eating popcorn and Mangipane is a regular.
At the end of the day, Stajan is not holding this team back. I'm looking at Monahan, Hamilton, Brodie, Gaudreau. You know, the whole 'your best players need to be your best players' thing? Pretty damn hard to win consistently with the performances we've seen from this lot over the past 6 weeks or so.
