smart move by Stafford. Seemed to gell quickly with his new linemates after the trade.

Nice term, I would have loved to sign Stafford at that term/price.

Cap is not bad. A little high but Winnipeg can easily afford it

Cap hit is a tad high but that is the cost of only going for 2 years of term.

Good, didn't want to see him on the Flames and neither did you guys. If there's anyone who defined the soft, gutless finale of the Darcy Regier era of the Sabres, it was Stafford.

Good move by the Jets. Since we have literally no chance of resigning Frolik, Stafford was a necessity to sign.

You are just bitter that we fleeced the Sabres in that trade.

Damn. That's exactly the contract I was hoping we'd sign him to.

Deal makes sense as this isn't a guy that you want to commit to over the long-haul. He played well in WPG but he's been up and down his entire career. Reminds me a bit of Bork.

Trust me, as someone that's watched Stafford and Myers play many many more games than you have, I am not bitter in the least.

Myers was a beast for us. Staff? Seemed Meh to me.

Still was worth while getting rid of money phone.
