What To Do With Stajan?

[Winsor_Pilates]

I've never been a big fan of Stajan's but was more concerned when we were trying to play him on the 1st/2nd line and get a lot more offence out of him.

I think for that 1st time since he's been a Flame, Stajan is actually being utilized properly and fulfilling his role. I can't see him keeping that spot forever, but he's a good fit for this season, and maybe next.

Ya he's solid in his current role, but I could see him being moved in a year or two to give him a chance to play more than anything. He's not great but he's not press box material either. By the time Bennett's ready, Matt is totally expendable, due to the numbers game more than anything.

Monahan
Backlund
Bennett
Shore

Not counting guys like Bouma and Colborne who can play C, plus Arnold, Jankowski, Granlund, etc. LW is stacked too.

For the time being, he's a useful player and, I'm assuming, a leader in the room. No reason to move him at all.
