Stajan is a coming off a strong season, a great leader with a ton of experience, and has a much more flexible contract that Vegas can sell next year at the deadline. He and Brouwer are only a year apart in age yet Stajan is more mobile, a better PKer, possession driver, playmaker, and his career peaks were higher than Brouwer. And he plays the more valuable position by a mile.
It seems pretty obvious to me that Stajan is a better option for an expansion team. They shouldn't have much difficulty hitting salary baseline either with overpaid guys like Dustin Brown and Joe Colborne.
