Speculation: Stammergeddon 2024: Is Stamkos going to re-sign with the Lightning?

[Point21]

LeBrun is saying both sides are being very tight lipped about these negotiations. However, he was able to gather that a short term deal is not in the cards due to the Bolts cap situation. Instead, both sides have been focusing on a long term deal to bring down the AAV.

just give him an 8 year deal at like 4m

Closer to 5.5 if I had to guess. And then buy him out when it’s clear he can’t go on.

Literally got to wait til July 1st to see what happens.

Stamkos has signed 3 NHL contracts, the earliest being June 29th. He has hit the market before. I'm not worried...yet. If we get to July 1 without clearing any cap, then it makes things interesting.

This isn't 2016. The Lightning do not have cap space, and the GM isn't hiding the fact that no moves will be made to create it.

Well, this changes the narrative a bit. Seems like everyone is waiting for the Stamkos situation to play out. It was kinda assumed earlier that they were already proceeding with Hedman.

 

[ccman68]

so stamkos would be fine with 4 or 5 mill? seems like a pretty easy decision to me. i’m still fairly confident we get this done

Heddy might have something in place but wants to see if they sign his best friend first

This is damning comming from Erik. You don't normally hear him talk like he doesn't recognize this team like this.

this times infinity...erik is neal solanz level homer

 

[Todd1a]

I’m absolutely pissed offer him 5 per year

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

If JBb didnt sign him for 4 years at 4 x 5 or 5x 4 that is on is so dumb on his part. He has more production than any player we can sign for 4 to 5 million. Hell he doubled Cirelli's production and cost almost 3 to 4 million less.

 

[Rschmitz]

WOW! So he did actually go with the 8 year offer

Look, this is actually much closer than I thought. IDK about 5m but if Stamkos is willing to take 4m than JBB HAS to make it happen.

If JBB offers Stamkos 4mx8yrs and Stamkos turns it down, he's forgiven. That is an honest offer IMO. Stamkos probably isn't going to see 30m offered on his next deal.

If this is close to true, and they're balking at giving him 4-5M a year, the Tampa Bay Lightning organization look like clowns right now.

 

[Sky04]

Remember the Point bridge took forever because JBB wouldn't budge from a stupid number like 4.75 and Points side was waiting for a reasonable offer.

 

[Sky04]

3m lmao get bent JBB

 

[Game suspension]

If the Bolts offered him $24 mil at 34 years old and he turned it down then it is on him.

Greed > Wish to stay in Tampa

Good luck getting more $ elsewhere Steve

 

[These Are The Days]

So we're basically at an 8 year deal and a few million apart? Yeah I feel a lot better about this getting done. If Stamkos walks, you can cancel Christmas in the JFBB household because he's gonna have to walk into Vinik's office and answer the question of "WTF was that?"

Stop. 8x3 is clown shit

would have to move his failure of a son Jeannot to give Stamkos 5 per year and doesn’t want to lol unreal

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

3m lmao get bent JBB

3 to 4 million is an insult to Stamkos when Jeannot got extended for 2.665 Million for two years . Trade Jeannot and offer Stamkos around 4 to 5 million and sign him for x amount of years.

 

[Todd1a]

Give him 4.5 per year for 8 years and close this deal already my goodness JBB move on from Jeannot!

Stamkos agency knows JBB will move

There is a tweet floating around from Lebrun (I believe) that sounds like he's gonna test the market.

I don't know what we are offering, but this is a disaster. I'm not even a huge Stamkos supporter (obviously), but losing him without a plan to replace him is just insane. I love McD, but we can't make that move without a plan for what we're dealing with now.

 

[Soul Assumption]

I just don’t understand why Brisbois doesn’t want to get rid of Sheary and Jeannot?
