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

[NJBolt]

So where do we think 91 ends up?

Guess it would depend on what Stamkos wants....$$ or cups.

Nashville, Detriot, Boston, Utah

So he choose Mac over stammer ?

We won a cup without stamkos. we haven’t won shit without mcdonagh. makes some sense to me

 

[Rschmitz]

He's gone. JBB didn't leave any money for him and thought he'd take 3m. What an asshat

But now we're missing Palat, Killorn, Gourde, Coleman and Goodrow.

Stammer was the one who showed up this post season for us

And now our PP isn't scary anymore and we have to rely on Cirelli and Sheary to be our 2nd line

 

[ViD]

I can’t comprehend how this is possible.

Seemed to me he was going to be a full career Bolt

This is a false equivalence. And definitely has nothing to do with our current roster problems.

 

[Rschmitz]

Ya'll are delusional if you think Stamkos tests free agency and comes back. JBB has no inclination of making room for him.

If you're Stamkos and some team is offering you 8m+ and JBB is offering you 3m and hasn't even attempted to accommodate you, why deal with the disrespect? Take your money you've earned it

Just like seeing Vinny in an orange sweater and Marty in the Rags sweater I'm gonna vomit when 91 dawns a new logo

 

[Rschmitz]

So what do people think Stamkos was offered vs what he wants ?

He was offered 3m, nothing out of JBB's mouth indicates anything like creating cap space.

IDK, he probably would have taken 5m, doesn't matter. 100% he was strung on thinking he'd get a serious offer and it was never in the cards, complete and total disrespect

This one is even worse.

Vinny’s contract was albatross unfortunately, and Marty requested a trade.

91 has been begging for a contract for a year and JBB is sitting on his hands. Massive sour taste in my mouth over the way this played out.

 

[The Gongshow]

I'm really grasping at last hope straws here, but we may have to wait till day 2 of the draft (when we actually have picks) to see if JBB can make any final trades to clear up space.

If he wants to sign anyone of value he needs to open up cap space regardless if he wants 91 or not.

Using 5.3 to sign three bottom 6 players is the end of this run

Yep, we could have kept Stamkos if we wanted to. Was never Bresbois intent to keep him or there would be more than 3m available for him.

There aren't any straws left my friend. If JBB intended on freeing up cap space he'd have implied as much

This is way worse. Marty wanted to leave, and Vinny was washed. Stamkos just scored 40G and was our best player in the playoffs - he still has a lot to give.

 

[DFC]

If he doesn't have some kind of crazy back up plan, this is a disaster

Who is the statement directed to? Is he preparing fans, or is he speaking to Stammer and his agent? Teammates?

I don't think the video of the Zoom call has been released, so there may be an inflection or tone of how he said it that makes it feel different.

I think he is preparing the hockey world. I don't think it's a negotiation tactic.

620 is beating the hell out of jbb

wow

 

[Felonious Python]

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

Surprised that at this point Vinik wouldn't step in and tell JBB to get it done. I know its a business and sometimes tough decisions have to be made but this would be a big hit not only to the the teams performance but also to their bottom line. Do they really not realize the significance of this to the fanbase?

 

[These Are The Days]

620 is beating the hell out of jbb

wow

I was surprised Zach Blobner didn't have a stroke when I tuned in and heard him go off

 

[Todd1a]

620 is beating the hell out of jbb

wow

Yep

 

[Flat Ronnie]

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

 

[Antiramie]

So where do we think 91 ends up?

Detroit

 

[Game suspension]

Detroit

Yzerman is a pretty stingy guy. Just ask Patrick Kane.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

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.
