Was going to post this in team discussion then looked up his contract before posting. Decided it was better here.

Ya, 5 more years is rough.

He’d get a lot with only 2 years left on his deal but instead will be tough to move with 5. The funny things a cap does.

Calgary is in such a shitty position right now. Not nearly good enough to try to be competitive, multiple terrible contracts, and everybody else is a UFA in a year.

If NJ doesn't stop adding retirement UFA contracts I'm concerned they will end up being tied to declining players as well.

It should be much easier with the promise of a rising cap. Teams in this league have not been in this position in 15 years.

i think it’s Toronto or NYR for him.

$3M per over 8 years...Tampa trying to offer term at the expense of AAV. LeBrun explains:

Every time I watch him I think he's a mediocre to bad d man who hits stuff really hard sometimes. So really, exactly what Fitz is likely looking for.

I heard he was awesome in the playoffs this year.

it would cost alot, potentially too much, money but having a top 6 of

Siegenthaler-Hamilton
Zadorov-Pesce
Hughes-Nemec

would be insane.

 

[ScottyK]

Seigenthaler - Hamilton
Hughes - Pesce
Dillon - Nemec

That's my guess

that first big cap raise in years is making the agents swoon.

after some sensible trade deadline deals this year - glad to see NYR back to their old ways.

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Interesting offer but I get it from Tampa’s perspective. Also get Stamkos declining.

I have my doubts they offered a guy who will be turning 35 this season an 8 year deal. Then again their window is closing and I doubt they care they'll have to pay him in a few years

 

[BostonDevil]

Will Utah take all the contracts that Arizona used to?

Can't wait - Stamkos, Kane, Henrique, Duchene, Pavelski, Pacioretty!

That’s a lot easier on their cap than paying him a 4-6 deal

Well ya they offered that to avoid having a much higher cap hit on a shorter deal.

I feel like a more middle of the way offer might have made more sense and been more attractive to Stamkos. Even like 6 times 4M
