The flames paid this guy 26.5m over eight seasons, during which he put up 175 points. That is terrible value. Not once did he hit the 20 goal plateau during his time with Calgary. His best season was 31 points.
My favourite part of Matt Stajan is the guy played 1000 games, but only 17 post season games. He made the post-season three times in fifteen seasons and got out of the first round once!
He perhaps has one or two moments worth remembering over those eight seasons with the flames. Perhaps people like his nice guy persona, or his post-game interviews or that people say hes a good teammate. Forgive me, but I'm not going to celebrate the guy and his incredibly mediocre on-ice accomplishments over 1000 games.
