I don't think you trade Stajan. He has been playing well, and is a good depth piece right now. Klimchuk and Lomberg aren't upgrades on anyone on the team right now, Managiapane is decent, but also not an upgrade.
You trade Stajan for a pick, you make your team worse right now. That 4th line is plugging along nicely now, and I wouldn't want to disrupt that. Of course he isn't untouchable by the slightest stretch of the imagination, but I would want much more than a 4th or 5th round pick to disrupt what has been a pretty good line for a stretch now.
