Stamkos is Cooked

[SeanMoneyHands]

I still can't believe Trotz gave Stamkos the contract that he did. Huge overpayment. Steven knew it and took full advantage of it. Even Steven knows no other team was going to offer him $8Mx6.

 

[FerrisRox]

This is false but ok. Overpaid but your way off if you think he’s not an NHL player

Why are you even responding? The take is so outrageous it's either bait, or the opinion of someone that doesn't follow the sport very closely. Why would you engage either way?

feeling an Ovechkin like resurgence for Stamkos in the second half

0 points in the last 11 games.

 

[DuklaNation]

I don't know if he's playing hurt but if he isn't then he's washed up. Looks awful out there. What a terrible signing.

Trotz should stick to coaching, an average knowledges hfer could do a better job

[villacco]

He is 35 and started at age 18
I think his decline is the norm, players like Ovechkin and Crosby are the exception.
At least he has 3 more paychecks...

 

[trellaine201]

3 more years at $8M left. This is not looking good.

 

[Stammertime91]

I'm bias of course

*peaks at username*

But he seems miserable. Not because he's in Nashville, but because he probably thought and felt his entire career would be in Tampa. Can't say I'm surprised he looks bad this year, he's human.

As for the contract, yikes.

Sorry, pet peeve.

You can have a bias, but you can't be bias.

You can be biased though.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Two fold.

He's pretty washed and Nashville is where potent offensive players go to die.

If its a pet peeve you may want to double check what you wrote.

it was a test.

[Turin]

Older, unmotivated, bad fit.

Yeah he was busy keeping Scheifele and Ehlers off the score sheet last night

Thanks for catching it. I didn't bother to proofread it.

 

[centipede2233]

Trotz only needed 1 off season to sabatoge his team. That is some Chiarelli level gming!,

 

[Coffee]

You can have a bias, but you can't be bias.

Are you the exception then ?

 

[Nikki Potnick]

I have a feeling he'll get traded back to Tampa at some point, with some retention.

He was offered to stay in Tampa… and it seems like he chose the check over chemistry and comfort.

0 points today, -3.

No lockouts coming up so no free buyouts to save the Preds there.

Would any team be desperate to take his contract at half off? Maybe...4 million not terrible with the cap boost.

To be fair the deal they offered him was a little insulting.. 3 million per for 8? When he'd be lucky to play for 5 more seasons.

After tax and everything he'd lose what? 15 millionish dollars? That would sting

I think they'd have to bring in a 3rd team to get him down to $2m. At that price you'd get a few takers.

4m, maybe, but not much return.

 

[PaulD]

Talk of players being a product of other players is over blown sometimes….this is not one of those times. That man misses Kuch.

Yup. But was a super star before we ever heard of Kuch

 

[DFC]

Yeah... but then came the broken leg. And then came Kucherov.

Not that Stamkos wasn't great, but a lot of the numbers were smoke and mirrors. Not all, of course.
