Pretty sure those tweets will still be there (though not of a friendly variety. Seriously social networks suck).

I can maybe live with losing Bishop, although between the two I'd much rather have kept Bish. But we're going to lose some of our core forwards and aside from maybe Killorn there's not one I'd rather have Stamkos than. Maybe the Triplets and Hedman are loyal enough to take sizable discounts, but Drouin is now an open target for an offer sheet and he'll definitely chase the money.
Leafs sign him for say 10 million, 1/2 this board laughs at them.
Leafs don't get him. 1/2 this board laughs at them.
Can't win.

Matthews will be lucky to get 50 points ....not even in the same league as stamkos.
Yeah, he's got a clean bill of health and can play a full season.

I was fine with losing Bishop to keep the core together. Losing him and resigning Stamkos makes no sense considering both the lower price tag and how much more valuable Bishop has been for us. Now we lose our MVP AND some of our core.
Maybe he heard about how Kessel was treated and said "maybe I'll pass"?
Yup, because the leafs control what steve simmons writes.

Like the lazy POS he is? You act like the entirety of the Toronto hockey world didn't see him last on the ice, first off with their own eyes.

Oh no! We suck again!!
It's so hard to determine that because the Bishop deal was probably negotiated in good faith of losing players but perhaps not Stamkos. If Bishop signed on a year to year basis like Lebron James does with Cleveland with a NMC it might actually allow us to work around the rest of the team.

LOL the TB fans love fest for Stamkos reminds me of Cleveland and Lebron.
He's the best ever, oh he's leaving, **** him, selfish, brat, bad attitude, past his prim-oh he's coming back? Best sniper in the game, leader, best years are ahead of him, ride or die fan!

I'd be okay with Stamkos being compared to LeBron.
Means he's gonna bring Tampa (another) cup? I'm down mate.

That narrative that every Ontario-born kid wants to play for the Leafs still rings true to this day, doesn't it?
And he likely took less dollars per year to stay on a winning team that is loaded with talent.

I'm not sure how you figure that. Zero reports that Toronto was actually interested, and zero reports that the two sides even met - outside of what Simmons said, but he isn't reliable. They also just drafted a franchise C, fail they did not.
I've been saying for over a month I didn't think Toronto would even table an offer for him, and that re-signing in TB was most likely. The one thing I do find odd/shocking is that he signed for what was already being offer 6 months ago.

I wonder how much all this media attention bothered him.
Sunshine, anonymity, 0 pressure, no taxes. He's probably thinking "why would I leave?"

This is outstanding for Tampa Bay.
And it makes me very worried we're paying Kopitar too much now.
