Yeah I am sure someone can link the stuff, but Emma Lingan seems to think Stamkos doesn't think some guys are putting in the work. He was close to naming some names but did not.
I would love to hear who he thinks is the issue. Couldnt be that his line (Stamkos, Sissons, Marchessault) has the lowest P/60 of all forwards not named Tomasino (waived) and Svechkov. Wouldnt want the expensive players putting in anything 5v5. Probably guys like Fabbro and Tomasino. Wonder if he has been whispering in Trotz' ear some

Tampa had the cap space to keep their franchise legend and chose not to. That should have set off massive alarm bells.
What is a ? is that if they had done any game film watching or deeper stat analysis, they would have understood he was largely a mediocre 5v5 guy that was reliant on PP production (playing with Kucherov, Hedman, and Point!).

So either they realized that and STILL thought he was worth $8M a year. Or they relied solely on basic counting stats and were oblivious. Or else ownership had a hand in it. All 3 of those possibilities are really depressing.
