BEST. DAY. EVER.

WOOOOOOWEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Cannot wait to get my New jersey!!

Best centre ever in Preds history! Dudes a BEAST!!!!!

 

[Scoresberg]

Trotz really playing some 4D chess. First poach them their 1st rounder, then take away one of their best players, lol!!

 

[beardawg]

Stammer is a bit older, but this feels a lot like the day Kariya signed. He's going to be a welcome addition to the PP

 

[Enoch]

LETS FREAKING GO. I’m beyond excited to just watch him play. I will be buying some tickets for me and the kiddos

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Oof. That's quite a contract for a guy that's not quite all that at ES anymore. But I guess one we can definitely afford.

I wrote at the time that McDonagh was traded back to Tampa that it'd be funny if the Lightning now couldn't afford Stamkos, allowing Trotz to poach him... and it actually happened.

 

[Osprey]

Stamkos was just on TSN and said that Nashville made him feel really special with how much they wanted him. He called Nashville a fantastic city, says that he's familiar with some of the players and says that the team and city were a good fit for him as a player and a fit for his family. He also mentioned going to a playoff contender that's committed to winning and adding pieces, specifically pointing out how aggressive they've been today.

 

[herzausstein]

Love him as a player. Hope the contract doesnt look ugly in 3 years but might need to get a jersey. If nothing else, this should drive ticket and memorabilia sales

Stamkos plays LW

Yet he had over 600 faceoffs last season ... winning over 56% of them. He gives the Preds four players that can take, and win, draws.

Lightning fan coming in peace.

Stamkos is a sniper through and through. Times you may get frustrated with him, other times he just tears teams defenses apart and starts snipping goals left and right. At the end of the day, your getting a damn good player and an even better person. Take care of him!

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Take care of our captain for us =\.

 

[Soundgarden]

This is the first 1st overall pick to play for us, right?

 

[beardawg]

I was just coming to ask this same question! I think so

[PredsV82]

And the homecoming game will be very early. Preds play at Tampa October 28.

 

[PREDy 4 the Cup]

Will he still wear number 91?
I’m so excited for him!!!

 

[JPT]

I'd like to see all of the people dismissing Stamkos as old try to do his workout

I think Stamkos will be great but that video is 12 years old.

Ah shit. Well he still trains with the same folks.

 

[ShagDaddy]

Seeing people call a young man of 34 “old” makes me feel ancient……

I'm old enough to remember a 43 year old Jaromir Jagr scoring 66 points

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Yeah, a hockey player shouldn't be "old" at 34. Sometimes you need a change of scenery and a fresh outlook regardless of age, though. People said O'Reilly or Nyquist were "done". I can see it being a little bit comfortable lately in Tampa, they won their Cups, they've got the same core running it out there even after the glory days are now over. But 34 shouldn't be old yet for an elite athlete playing hockey. Hopefully he is energized by his change of scenery, just like O'Reilly was.
