The Steven Stamkos Sweepstakes are just that, with six or more teams still very much in the running. Amongst the many suitors still pitching to Stamkos and his agent Don Meehan are NSH, ANA, CAR, DET and NJ but it’s a fluid situation and others are involved as well.

Had to check what year it was
This is all nuts to me.
Come home stammer!(?)
If he signs with Tampa again I’m going to need to see a therapist
Anaheim like the kid trying to get a spot at the grownups table by showing the adults their digimon collection
*”Well if john gibson reverts back to Cinderella from his current pumpkin form… and Stamkos can put up a point per game without Kucherov…*
*…we could maybe scratch out the last playoff spot then get swept in round in one like capitals!”*
The ONLY way this could work is if Seider and Raymond both get bridge deals. Then…the Trouba thing still hangs out there, which would need salary retained. Which we’re hearing is possible. I wouldn’t be surprised to sell Holl and Fabbri traded today, somehow, to clear up some money.
Resign veleno and burgers for cheap. Mazur gets a spot. And boom.
I wonder how quick it’s going to take for him. NHL free agency tends to move so quickly, but I’m sure his availability is an unexpected change for everyone involved (especially him)
Stamkos Larkin Raymond
Cat Compher Kane
Ras Copp Kasper
Fabbri Veleno Berggren
If it happens that’s a nice top 6, okay 3rd line and a 4th line that will need very sheltered minutes. But I’m down with it.
Hopefully we actually make a pitch to him this time.
how much do we have to work with right now? Assuming Seider and Raymond take 17M of the remaining cap, plus Kane counting for 5.5M
What number will he wear? 🙄
Stammer feels like a bit of a luxury to me, without those Seider/Raymond deals being done. It does seem like both are likely headed towards bridges and I’m not sure how I feel about that…
I remember what happened last time. I’d rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed
I can’t stop about getting Stamkos and picturing Kane gliding like a shark on the power play and setting stammer for that one timer. It would just be too good . Does anyone know if Stamkos like Lalonde? I just don’t see Stevie passing this opportunity up. Also I wonder if Stamkos is excited to play with Kane , he doesn’t seem like a guy that is after money only .
I hope we can get it done guys . It would just be way to sweet
Anaheim lmao. Are they going to give him a Lionel Messi contract?
Obviously I’d love to have Stamkos on the team, but it needs to be a team friendly contract. No reason to mortgage the future for a player that, realistically, has around 6 years left in his career.
All Stevie has to do is throw in a 2nd rounder…. its so simple
Offseasons like this one are why I HATED the Copp deal when it was announced and still hate it today. I do not understand why we signed him to that kind of term. Like…fuck that guy
