I don't think Stamkos's being there or not really made much of a difference. Stamkos did what every offensive forward would have done in that situation, being an option for Kucherov on the PP, that is.

Kucherov was the stir in Tampa and management correctly identified stamkos as expendable.


Looks like they were right

I thought everyone with knowledge of the situation knew that. Stat nerds and Bolts fans were united in saying that Stamkos was a bad 5v5 player.

 

[tabness]

would still take him in Detroit for 4 million if Nashville wants to retain 50%

To be fair. I don’t pay much attention to Tampa or much of the eastern conference. So no. I didn’t know most people you united on that opinion.
