Stafford tho caused about 5 or 10 scoring chances against us 2 tho, he's trying to be 2 cute at times. It's costing us goals. He is what he is tho. Should get 20 goals or so and that's what Stafford is. He's really not good in his own zone tho at all. 

Stafford is a perfect example of what some people are criticizing the Jets for not doing more of.  I like Stafford, but I wouldnt want four other Stafford's at the expense of our young ELC players.

Stafford is a stop gap, I'd bet if Frolik was willing to sign a 2 year deal like Stafford he would be here too, he's just here filling a spot until someone else is ready to take it. 

Stafford is ok, but he is what he is, I'd actually rate him pretty decently in the O zone but really poor in the D zone, yeah he scores goals but plays he makes leads directly or indirectly to goals against us also. He's a vet also so he's not gonna get any better. I guess maybe, people prefer the devil they know to the devils they don't know? I don't know lol. 

But the thing with the ELC guys, they are gonna get better and better and better and better, Stafford, he is what he is and that's what he will always be now. 

 

I think the Jets trade him at deadline next season and i think they probably get at best a 2nd round pick back.

I agree and its a smart idea.  If the Jets are looking good, then they keep him for our own playoff push.  But all things being equal, why not flip him?  Someone will pay decent for a proven scorer with an expiring contract.
