Was a great addition for 2014-15...

Shouldn't have been signed that extension, but no one on this board would have said no to that contract if it was offered to them.***

^EDIT: Should make myself clear, it's not Stafford's fault for saying yes to dumploads of money.

Was great at times but overall had really no purpose anymore with Ehlers, Laine, eventually Connor etc.

Always thought it was funny that Sabres era Stafford was briefly in the video for one of my fav bands (from Buffalo)

Video NSFW at parts so didn't embed.

Hopefully he does well with Boston.

Compared to Kane, you were a breath of sunshine. Too bad things never worked out this year, but at least you'll get a shot to redeem yourself with another team.

Some days thoughts are best represented through internet memes. This is one of those days

He gets a lot of hate but I really enjoyed him during the Jets playoff run in 14-15. Some great moments and memories

I will remember him for scoring some nice goals during the 14-15 playoff run.

That's it.

Bye bro

He played his part in getting the team into the playoffs when he came over from the Sabres. It's a shame that things didn't work out this year but I hope he has a good end to the season in Boston and gets a longer playoff run. Hopefully he manages to find a deal over the summer that works out well for him.

He was great in 2014-15, and declined since then but I'm happy that he was on the team the past couple years
Best of luck to him in Boston

(also his exit interview was great)

Thanks for 14-15 and 15-16 Drew. Sorry you had to get injured this year. It happens.

On the personal finance front, congratulations. I am sure that you will remember Winnipeg fondly for the way your agent was able to take Chevy to the cleaners - set you up well for the future monetarily.

Great addition for the playoff run. Did his time and did what we needed him to do. Got us a decent return.

Wish him the best with the B's. Gettem into the playoffs. What happens after is of no worry to me.

I didn't have a problem with Stafford until this season, even then he always handled himself with a ton of class. He was a very good rental in 14-15. A fairly solid yet streaky 20 goal guy in 15-16. This year he fell off a cliff, hard to say why for sure. Maybe injuries and father time. Anyways hope he does well with the Bruins and wish him all the best.

Respect the player even though his game is declining. He did more for this city and franchise than most players have, and that was simply by signing a two year deal here as a UFA during his prime money making years.

Always remember Stafford scoring that sweet goal in the playoffs. I lost it. Was 1$ tequila shots every time a Jet scored, and Stafford get me primed!

Yup, great point.

Commodore isn't a fan of most players. He's almost a parody.

Good guy. Met him at a restaurant one time. Seemed like a legit down to earth guy.

We just lost the metalhead on the team...he is, from what I have read, a total metal music geek.
Enjoyed him as a player here, wish he could have had a better run this year.

Good luck Drew.
