That said, it's a bit disappointing that this is the situation we find ourselves in after going all-in during the offseason. Hopefully fixing the RW mess is a priority this summer.
Edit: regarding Stajan, he'll get enough games to reach 1000 just as a way of saying thanks, and probably no more than that. Matt Stajan is a nice guy but absolutely not a player who gets guaranteed icetime on a team with playoff aspirations.

How are we a borderline team when the top two spots in our division are still up for grabs?
