Your last statement makes one wonder just what you are thinking?HE multiple steps of Jeannot and Sheary combined.
I wouldn't be opposed it, but would want an extension in place.
JBB doesnt want to sign guys with skill and would rather have Sheary,Chaffee, and whoever else off the waiver wire down there.
If he did not like skill players, why would he sign a younger and all around more effective Guentzel rather than an aging power play specialist in Stamkos, then give Hedman a nice extension?
It is as if the blind undying loyalty to Stamkos is preventing people from seeing and understanding that the same core failed to make it out of the first round the previous two postseasons and the roster was in need of some serious changes in an effort to make it to the second round and beyond.
Like it or not, professional sports are a business, and the goal of that business is winning Championships. The goal is NOT keeping aging fan favorites just for the sake of keeping those fans happy. New players mean new fans, which in turn creates revenue and interest. Odds are, most of the folks complaining about Stamkos leaving will not stop following the team, and the majority of those who do will be back before the season is over, especially if the Lightning start winning.
