They could have both paid Stajan and funded a very good fourth line. That's my point. They weren't prevented from playing a "very good fourth line" because Stajan was on the final year of a $3m deal.

They were also not prevented from getting a very good first line winger because of Stajan's salary.

This is not an argument about whether Stajan wasn't a good 4C. He wasn't for the first half and then I'd argue he was just fine. It's about whether his salary makes any kind of difference to the analysis. It doesn't. If he made league minimum I'd look at him the same way.

BTW, the bottom 6 issues were far more about the third line than the fourth imo.
