Tampa didn't refuse to give Stamkos 8 million. They refused to give him 4-5 million.
Confirmed Signing with Link: [NSH] F Steven Stamkos signs with the Predators (4 years, $8M AAV)
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date
I think that would be too mean after trading you guys Jeannot, trading back McDonagh and then taking Stamkos. But, if you're offering...

Good for stamkos to get paid. Good luck!
Two cents is that 8 mil is a bit much for him at this stage in his career. I like him in the power play situation and he can score goals but I'm not sure if I depend on him to carry a team at that number like you would expect. If we paid him that it would be for the past that he's done for us and to take care of him for the rest of his career. Feels like the lightning said it might not be great for the quality of the team if we commit to that long term but maybe if someone else does it and it's not in our conference then good for him.

We don't really need him to carry the team with Forsberg, O'Reilly and now Marchessault. As long as he can score goals that's great.
He was pretty bad at 5v5 last year which is way Tampa was fine with replacing him, but he's still got that one time and is deadly on the power play.
Will Stamkos be able to use "MC Hammer" as his goal song in Nashville?! He better be able to... Plus Nashvilee should change their uniforms to Blue and White. Stamkos looks best in those colours as he's been wearing them all the way since the 18th century.
I could care less if he's bad 5v5 if he can put up 40/40 again. Our PP was awful in the playoffs

Bad look on both Tampa and Stamkos
Tampa because they treated their captain and franchise player for so many years like dog shit.
Stamkos because looks like all he cared about is money. I can understand him however since he accepted cap friendly deals twice to stay with Tampa and help them keep the core together. Time to cash in.

Preds were 10th in the league in goals last season with guys like Sissons and Trenin playing in the top 6.

If the rumors are true, this is squarely on the Lightning.
Once Stamkos isn't going back to Tampa, of course he is going to take a payday. What the Lightning (allegedly) offered him is insulting.
JBB and the Lightning organization will, and should, get dragged for this.

My guess is that Stamkos takes the #2 center spot. I can't see the preds playing Novak at centre over him.

Give me a break. If you left your job to make more money elsewhere, aint nobody going to say it's a bad look.
It's business.

Nashville made some brutal signings today. Trotz is a better coach than GM. An old team with no young centers to build around.
Lol.
We've got a solid 1-2-3 with ROR, Stamkos and Sissons and we have a top 5-10 prospect pool, Svechkov, Wood, Parssinen, Surin, Nillson are all centers.
I think we'll be ok.

Good for Stammer I guess but that is gonna get ugly with the way he is dropping off.
He should still be in a role here to pick up points but..

It's only four years. Our PP is dog shit, worst case scenario is three years from now we glue him to the PP.

I think it's important to state that rumours are not facts. If you have ironclad evidence that proves to this claim, by all means.

It's more to keep the team competitive while kids grow up and mature in a healthy environment. Note that none of the recent moves required the loss of any of Nashville's prospects.
