Putting up points and driving the play 5 on 5 are two different things. Most of Stammer’s production comes off of that incredible Tampa PP. Kaner and Cat were downright outmatched at ES against other top lines. Yeah we’d have a sick Power Play but that only takes you so far.
Confirmed with Link: Patrick Kane signs one year extension (4M base, up to 6.5M with bonuses)

Forever Lost.
Happy to have him back. Kane has a skill set we don't have in anyone else, slowing down the play.

I posted it on twitter but riddle me this guys...
stamkos signs
Our powerplay 1 is now going to be:
Larkin
Stamkos - Kane - compher/raymond
seider
our powerplay 2 becomes (if they ever get out there):
raymond/compher
berggren - debrincat - copp/rasmussen
edvinsson
if this is the lines or the combo of players and we don't execute a minimum of 30% clip rate, I'd be absolutely shocked.

Never thought we'd get him for 1 year and never thought the cap hit would be $4M.
Didn't think I'd be this excited to have him back. Love it. Hope he's healthy and ready.

I get it, but an extra .5 goals/game over the course of the season probably gets them in the playoffs last year even with the sieve goaltending at times. Doesnt matter if they were PP or not.

If Yzerman can properly fill out the rest of the roster, this could be a pretty good move.
That said, mostly glad it's only 1 year. Kane can go albatross anytime with that hip.

I don't believe Stamkos will come to Detroit for a bargain contract. Toronto could afford 5 million easily and he'd be playing on a team that would be a cup threat with him on their second line.

Not good enough for SKA
I'm glad to have Kane back but I hope he's on a line where they can cover for him defensively better than last year, or that he can play better himself in the defensive zone. It was hard to watch sometimes.
Getting a better defense should certainly help. Can't wait to see what the roster looks like post FA frenzy.

5M is 2 more than TB. I'll give him whatever he wants. f***ing Andrew Copp makes more than 5M!!!!

I'm just saying, if 5 million is the rumor, there are contenders that would be happy to take him to play 2nd line minutes and anchor a PP unit.

Sign another aging star in Stamkos, keep Veleno, Fabbri, just make sure we won't see Kasper/Danielsson/Mazur/Berggren etc this season. Also don't forget to load D with Ghost and Trouba for AJo and Wallinder to spend another full season in Grand Rapids.

Right. Because Toronto's track record suggests that they 1) are a Cup contender and 2) should spend money on another premier forward.
Stamkos should have plenty of suitors. Going to the Leafs (at nearly any price) would be an awful decision.

Let me start by saying I hate Canadian hockey teams and hope to live to be 100 and never see one lift a cup again. That being said, Toronto with Stammer would be better than they are now. And based on track record there is nothing Toronto loves more than to spend money on premier free agents.
