News: Steven Stamkos to hit free agency on July 1st

[Roo]

agreed

 

[Unbiased Fan]

With all the salaries they dumped today he's pretty much a lock to come back now

If they bring in Marner they won’t have the cap to resign him

They moved Sergachev to make room for Guentzel, not Stamkos according to Friedman.

 

[TheNumber4]

Toronto is going to sign him for $11m per

Standard pajama boy “discount”.

What does a Stamkos signing actually look like in 2024? Didn't see much of him last year, can't even ballpark what he'd be looking for in AAV and term.

AFP has him at ~ $6.15M x 3 years. Tampa reportedly offered him something like 3M x 8 years and he turned it down.

I really have no idea, I'm guessing he'd prefer something around 4-6 years, 4-6M AAV.

No. Both. They have $16.5M in space now

Sounds like Stamkos is going for 6m x 4=24m and TBL countered with 3m x 8=24m if that's true.
Or 6m x 3 countered with 3m x 6.

Either way, I don't see Stamkos playing another 6 to 8 years with all his mileage and (major) injuries.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

He's probably looking for a 30 million contract, so a team like Chicago or Utah should give him 3 years * $10M

Couldn't have watched any Tampa last year if didn't see much of him. He had 40 goals and 41 assists. I'd say he gets 4-5 million on a 4 year contract

 

[BLONG7]

Will he chase a Cup? ( Ask Corey Perry who he thinks will be in the Finals ) Or will he chase the $$$ ?

Feels kinda weird that this is how it ends in TB.

I would do this in a heartbeat

Same lol

[Pinkfloyd]

If I was Grier and the Sharks, I'd offer 3x10 or 11.

[T REX]

WTF???? JBB is trolling everyone lol

 

[JKG33]

I feel like he ends up in one of Carolina, Nashville or LA

 

[David71]

come to vancity!

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

I would do this in a heartbeat

Every team in the nhl would offer that for proven and tested 40 goal scorer.

He's been ppg for the last 3 years, with a 100 point season, and, as a Cats fan, I thought he was Tampa's best player in the short playoff series. For 1 year, 7 million seems right, on a slightly longer deal anything under 6 would be a steal.

 

[Aoko]

This is almost just as bad as the Jeannot overpayment.

As bad as moving MSL.

This is so goddamn embarrassing.

 

[Bleedred]

I don't understand why they bothered dumping Sergachev if they're not gonna re-sign Stamkos.

And I also don't understand why they took McDonagh. Without taking him back and still sending Sergachev and Jeannot out, that should have at least been enough for Stamkos.

If would be embarrassing if Nashville signs him after they dumped McDonagh off on Tampa.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Seems aggressively cold blooded.
