At the time of the Phaneuf trade I was so, so disappointed in the return. I never expected at the time that Stajan would go on to spend so many years with the team while Phaneuf would be bouncing around failing to be much of impact player. Even though I'm sure the Flames could have gotten a much better haul out of that trade, Stajan has been the piece that stuck and has been a solid part of this team for a long time. Stripping away the circumstances of how he was acquired, he has just been a solid player for the Flames through thick and thin over many seasons. Deserves appreciation from the fans and organization.
