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

[The Gongshow]

I'm hoping for that "Stamkos ans Jbb came to an agreement in the final hours before FA. Stamkos deal gets done and both sides win" tweet soon

...please..

My father was killed November 4th 2020 by a drunk driver doing a "Prairie pass" on his ATV. Years later the settlement took a few hours and it was a proverbial staring contest just like what they're doing. I doubt it's different. Loyalty to player and franchise will be the only way this settles

Nope unfortunately

Wild theory: jbb and stamkos already have a deal in place. But because jbb has had many offers now that he has cap, he has told the Stamkos camp to wait and see what he can do to keep the team a cup contender, and then Stamkos signs with whatever is left. Thats why Stamkos is reportedly asking outrageous amounts from other teams.

I don't actually know if Commodore has sources, but I still hate this.

f***, I’m pretty sure he’s usually right, isn’t he?

 

[Rschmitz]

The key here is that JBB doesn't use what little cap space he has left and gives Stamkos time to see what his other options are.

We have 7.5m left to spend with 1D(Moser) and 2F left to sign. Trading Sheary for a league minimum salary adds another 1m+

Still a sliver of a chance.

Well f***

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Lebrun saying all signs point to Nashville now. But nothing finalized.

f***

 

[gn2007]

Looking like nashville from all the front runners. Trots is making JBB his bitch holy shit lol

 

[Rschmitz]

I mean isn't this tampering?

Traded us McDonagh so they could steal Stamkos from under our noses

Lol jbb says stammer deserves the right to test the market so we will see God damn well. We will only see stammer twice a year if true.

 

[Rschmitz]

Nashville has no state tax right?


I swear to christ if Stamkos signs for 4x4

 

[ThunderRoad]

Can't McDonagh park himself on Stamkos' doorstep and tell him not to do it? He wanted to get back to Tampa asap.

 

[The Gongshow]

It's StamOVER

 

[Coopers Gum]

Lebrun reports stamkos to the preds, 4 years, 8 mil.

 

[JTBF81]

Good for Stamkos if true. Also good for Tampa not paying him that or close to that.

 

[Zwui21]

Insane number to commit to Stammer at this point IMO, Nashville will regret it

 

[DMB06]

Lebrun reports stamkos to the preds, 4 years, 8 mil.

If true the rumors of him only wanting 4-5 to stay were nonsense. I bet he told JBB at least 7.

 

[JoVel]

The one good thing about all of this is that Hedman with a C will look very sexy.

Yeah, but we weren't threatening to cut McDonagh's pay by 2/3.

We just got marginally better while majorly disrespecting one of the classiest players in the league, and probably the most well-loved player in franchise history. I was never 100% on the "Stamkos must be a Bolt for life" train, but this is not the way to let it end.

I don't know how this isn't a disaster. Waiting for JBB to clean it up.

It's not really a disaster when it's clear he wanted much more than was initially reported. No chance he would've stayed for 4 when he just signed for 8. Nashville didn't just pull a number out of a hat, they gave him what he asked for, and maybe even less. He could've asked for 8.5-9 or even more, we'll never know. But this should put to bed the nonsense that he was willing to stay for 4-5, that was obviously false info released by his agent to make us look bad.

If I had to guess, I'd say JBB offered 3 thinking Stammer would counter with 4-5 and then he'd be re-signed. Stammer probably countered with at least 7 and JBB said okay, adios. That scenario is much more likely than what was thought to be true a couple of days ago.

 

[Felonious Python]

Stammertime finally stopped.

 

[The Gongshow]

Seen Stamkos?

 

[HoseEmDown]

We couldn't give him that deal and rightfully so. Not sure Nashville cap situation but those last 2 years might be rough, he should be worth it the first 2.
