Another midget. I want moar bigger.Could be another target
Actually I think the core IS ready and WANTS to compete. They got zero support from the rest of the team though.Easy pass on Stamkos, makes absolutely no sense considering our core isn't ready to compete yet and the guy is already 34 and will ask for the moon. Next.
Vegas signing Stamkos would be such a Vegas move
Honestly I rather have a mistake free boring off-season, next year is when we are going to see what we are working with because there no use making move if one of Reinbacher, Mailloux, Barron can’t carry the RD and Dach, Slaf, CC, Suzuki, Newhook, can’t be part of a contending top9…Looks like it's going to be a slow ufa day for us hopefully we see a couple more trades through the summer going with the same lineup as last year is just a massive failure
What about Vincent Desharnais? His agent is Philippe Lecavalier
Toffoli wants a long term deal it's the reason New Jersey traded him at the deadlineJust bring back toffoli and be done with it. Nobody else will want to sign here lol
Is trouba a top 6 guy?
He's a bottom pair d man at this point in his career. He isn't leaving the US as his wife is a medical doctor there and is the major reason he wanted to go to New York as that is where she was attending Med schoolIs trouba a top 6 guy?
Habs won't be signing a UFA dman for a while, we have Matheson/Savard/Guhle/Harris/Barron/Xhekaj/Struble/Hutson going into next season (8 dmen). On top of that we have Reinbacher/Mailloux/Engstrom coming up.What about Vincent Desharnais? His agent is Philippe Lecavalier
What's the point of putting ourselves back into bad contracts? We're almost finally free of bad contracts. In 4 years we should be finally competing.That's a problem for 4 years from now.
Stamkos will go to Vegas.Prediction time
Stamkos: Nashville
Bertuzzi: Chicago
Marchessault: Boston
Teravainen: SJ
Lindholm: Utah
Toffoli: SJ
Perron: Dallas
Debrusk: Edmonton
Overrated bum: Toronto
The cap will be much higher in 4 years and we better be competing much sooner than 4 years from now. So what do you want to happen between today and July 1st 2028? Hopefully some high-octane hockey, some playoff runs, some f***ing fun. You need the dogs for it.What's the point of putting ourselves back into bad contracts?

Yeah, day care workers and kindergarten teachers.I don't care, I want Stamkos here. Everyone says it doesn't make sense but I kinda think it does. He's won his cups. Now he can lead a new generation. Some people get fulfillment out of that.
In year 4 he decides he can still play and contribute with his 15 points on 4th line and you are stuck with 6M AAV cap hit. No thanks.Stamkos is 34 and still PPG. I'd give him a front-loaded contract loaded with dummy years. Until age 40, 6 years 14-10-5-2.5-1.25-1.25 cap hit of less than 6m. He can retire within three years and his cap hit disappears. Win win win.
