I wouldn't be as salty as I am if he had signed for a big deal, Tampa or not. He signed for the deal he was offered around Christmas time and waited until the very last minute to take it. **** him.

It was as annoying for us as much as anybody to be honest.
The waiting wasn't really fun the last half year or so.

Once again, he was offered 5 years originally. That is a waaay different offer.

Technically that's true, but he wasn't allowed to travel around and meet with other teams when he was offered the deal around Christmas time. He waited till he had a chance to do that, didn't get his socks blown off, and made his mind up pretty quick.

the epidemic continues of hockey fans believing a guy is going to bolt his team to go home again in UFA and not realizing that a guy who just spent his entire adult life in a city probably thinks of that as much of a home as his childhood hometown....

Yup.
Now that he's staying in Tampa, he can go back to being the Stamkos we all know and love.
Doesn't have to worry about the question marks about his health and declining play that would come with being a Leaf.

That does seem like a whole new level of saltiness
You should have seen the guy wishing more clots upon Stamkos. That was some serious vudu **** right there...

Let's not forget adulthood in general means a lot of people leave the nest and go and find and build their own home. Not everybody wants to run back to mommy and daddy. That's what vacations and breaks are for.

Signs the contract offered to him months ago.
Created a HUGE distraction for himself and his teammates during a playoff run in the process.
Is he missing a lot of brain cells?

Not often i say this; but some of the posts in this thread make me embarrassed to be a Leaf fan.

He was offered 5 years, months ago. Not 8.
But someone sure is missing a lot of brain cells to comment on half of the story and pretend like he knows the full thing.
Hey guys, who was distracted by the Stamkos contract during the playoffs? I mean, we went to Game 7 against the Penguins, in which Stammer returned and gave it his all. But we were so distracted by what Stamkos was gonna do. Amirite?

As a Leafs fan, I am so glad we didn't sign him. He would have probably wanted more from Toronto and for 8 years, not worth the risk to me. Good signing for Tampa Bay though.

What he said is bad, but come on dude...look at your posts in this thread.
Wow, so Leafs fans... how is it having Stamkos and Tavares together there in Tarantah? Oh, wait....
Their tears are so sweet...
I know this is a shocking revelation to some, but there are a lot of Toronto fans who didn't want the Leafs to sign Stamkos.

Nice discount for the team. Underpaid but dedicated to getting it done in Tampa. Great job bringing him back.
