Stajan Named To Young Stars All-Star Team

This afternoon the NHL announced that Maple Leaf rookie centre, Matt Stajan has been named to the Young Stars All-Star team for this weekend’s all-star festivities in St. Paul, Minnesota. Stajan, who was not named to the roster at first which was completely absurd, will replace Garnet Exelby of the Atlanta Thrashers.

In fifty-one games, Stajan has put up eight goals and nine assists for seventeen points. He has also showed that along with putting the puck in the net, he is an extremely talented defensive player capable of killing penalties and playing against the opposition’s best players. Stajan has made a real solid contribution to the Maple Leafs and certainly deserves this honour!
