It was really more about all the posts complaining in advance about the possibility of extending Brock because he's too old, and then there are posts bemoaning the fact that Trotz was able to sign a 34 year old guy to a 4 x $8M contract. Seems a touch contradictory.Neither of them are good ideas really, but Stamkos just reached 80 points the last two seasons in his declining years for the 7th and 8th time in his career.
Nelson has never hit 80 and only has hit 70 once, so signing Brock to that deal would be worse...
But if we must compare, I think Nelson for $1M less per year and ending a year younger is a better deal than Stamkos. If we're strictly counting points, do we know who Stamkos' linemates were in TB? I'm thinking they might be better than Brock's. And all-around play?
