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

[Petes2424]

Why would playing with Kane matter to Stamkos? I feel like people are just throwing things at the wall at this point

It’s the ongoing thing the last few days. Fans thinking their team will suddenly sign both. Only chance of that happening would be in Detroit now.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I hope the habs can sign him to a 3 year contract

There's the MSL and Lecavalier connection that could entice Stamkos to come here

Ah, yes. The captain's curse down here in Tampa

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I think he goes to either Vegas or Boston.

 

[viper0220]

I hope he goes to Utah, he can really help that team.

 

[Stephen]

It would be wild if he went to the Florida Panthers... to replace Sam Reinhart. That would be the ultimate ugly divorce from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

 

[DFC]

3M for Stamkos is not good value but he rejected an 8 year deal. He’s not going to get that term anywhere else.

He doesn't want the term. It's all about total dollars.

I think on the open market he gets up close to 7. Sounds like he's willing to stay in TB for < 5. I hope we get that done. He should be good for 30 on our PP (not so much on a team without Kucherov).

 

[Amadeus]

I think they somehow make it work and he stays in Tampa.

 

[Donuts]

If TBL dont re-sign stamkos. How will the veterans like kucherov see this stamkos treatment by tb.

Its business but stamkos has been loyal and their captain. Kucherov has been giving it his all for that organization. He gotta think how will they treat him when its his time to renew his contract

 

[lawrence]

Detroit will try to sign him.

 

[GoldenSeal]

He'll retire wearing the Bolt. It can't be any other way.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

I hate JBB for the way he has treated Stammer and if he walks it’s solely on JBB . You don’t treat the captain like this who has done so much for the team and community.

Of course they will. And they will definitely end up getting him too

Okay, who's gonna bail Vegas out of cap hell this time?

They are not in cap hell since they can place Lehner on LTIR.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

I think they somehow make it work and he stays in Tampa.

Want to see this happen just for the tears on hf

 

[thekernel]

They are not in cap hell since they can place Lehner on LTIR.

I can think of at least 31 teams that would be willing to beat 6.8m, aka the space that Vegas has to sign Stamkos

But of course it's Vegas, they'll probably give him 8m and trade McNabb or something lol

 

[Bizz]

Vegas would probably offer him the most money because the cap doesn't apply to them, but he'll snub them and stay out east.

 

[BB79]

Of course they will. And they will definitely end up getting him too

And put him on LTIR

 

[Habs Halifax]

Vegas Bound

 

[Super Cake]

If the Knights lose Marchy and sign Stamkos, i will laugh.

This team really does not show loyalty to its players.

It got them a cup though, so i can't really complain that much about it.
