Nah, less.

Looking at Toews' and Kane's deasl that kick in July 1 2015, Stammer won't be that expensive. Both these guys are also elite players with a poop load more hardware that Stammer has.

Hopefully Stammer's definition of "home town discount" is a little different from Clarkson's and Bolland's

I would give him as much money as he wants

I disagree. Stamkos is a top 5 player in the league no question. Kane definitely isn't.

Crosby
Doughty
Malkin/Ovi
Stammer/Tavares/Toews
Weber/Suter..

Something like that IMO..

... Or perhaps it's just you and your little hate boner that can't stand the idea of a player like Stamkos joining the Leafs in their prime.

Clarkson came here is in prime
I stand corrected

If he wants to go to the leafs or just FA he will. He knows that he can get the exact same amount of money in Tampa if he waits until free agency.
- JVR_42_PK81



Oh of course, his boner to be a Leaf trumps his loyalty, relationships, life he formed in TB....ya, ou nailed it!

TB is gonna throw Fort Knox at him to keep him. That, and, when was the last elite superstar to goto FA?

I mean seriously Leaf fans, you guys are delusional if you think Stamkos will be a leaf for 2016-17......

hahahahaha, the odds are the leafs will be saying "we should have drafted anyone other than nylander"
- Flyfreaky

You can laugh now, but I think Nylander has as much chance of being a star in the NHL as guys below him. Rielly was definitely worth the 5th overall so it's safe to assume the Leafs scouting are doing their homework now.

If Stamkos does come here, I hope he realizes the god like status he would have in this city.

Pot meet kettle. I sincerely doubt Stamkos comes close to FA. Once July 2015 comes, TB will do everything in their power to lock him up long term......and let's not forget the Yzerman quotient.....
- chompsey


Really?

Do I think that Stamkos signs with T.O. in 2016? Not very likely at all, but over the past couple days since "the tweet," MTL1 has gone out of his way to completely dismiss the P-O-S-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y of Stamkos joining the Leafs.

Clearly all the Leafs' rivals and anti-Leafs fans out there hate the idea of Stamkos as a Maple Leaf, but no one can deny that it's certainly an intriguing story line, especially when you consider Stammer's actions over the past couple days.

Is it a subtle message to Stevie Y to consider heading into negotiations? Most likely, but perhaps there's more to it? That's all anyone is saying at this point.

Absolutely, but $13M (as you suggested) seems ludicrous.

I think the chance to be a diety in Toronto would defiently play into him signing there Stamkos is an Elite player he knows it the world knows it where he plays isnt gonna change how he plays hes still gonna rack up huge points hes still young so he has the im invincible mentallity goin on besides for the chance to bring the stanley cup home to Toronto is a huge addiction to anyone that can shoulder the pressure which im sure he could

Nobody thinks he will. We're hoping at this point. Praying really.

Look. This is all fueled by a tweet from Stamkos. Save your loyalty speech for him.

So, Gauthier. Big dude. Can he skate?


Also, who is Connor Brown's linemates? How much of his OHL success this year falls onto McDavid?
