from Dave Waddell of the Windsor Star,
This is a pretty good situation, but I’m not thinking about that right now,” Stuart said. “I’d like to see how it plays out, but I’d like to explore the possibility of staying. When the time comes, I’m definitely hoping to be here.”
While financial considerations will play a role in any negotiation, Stuart said the price of happiness isn’t always tied to money.
The native of Rocky Mountain House, Alta., has had his fill of losing since entering the NHL with San Jose and L.A.
“Winning definitely comes into play,” the 28-year-old Stuart said.
“Being on a losing team is not that much fun no matter what you’re being paid. Coming to the rink, to a winning environment and a positive atmosphere is definitely worth something.
“Those things are going to be something I think more about after we’re done (the season).”

I have to say, Stuart’s fit in much better than anticipated. He’s been a big part of DET’s postseason success. He gives them someone other than Kronwall for opposing forwards to keep their heads on a swivel for, and he’s fairly sound defensively otherwise. He also chips in well on offense.
I’d like to see them resign him, definitely. With Stuart coming back and Meech (who’s definitely ready for the NHL next year, and possibly Ericsson) ready to come up from GR for good, we could then wave adios to both Lebda and Lilja, and not compromise the future.

Twelve mil over four years seems about right for Stuart. And the best part of signing him is that it practically assures that Lilja won’t be back. Woo Hoo!
