I can't see Stevie Y letting Stamkos go to free agency. If Stamkos turns down extension in a year I see two options

After next season I can see Stamkos getting moved at the deadline as the ultimate rental - but even half a year and only 1 playoff round guarantee of Stamkos would cost a lot. Stamkos plays the rental and comes home in offseason.

Or

Stamkos comes to Toronto a year earlier in a trade for something like Kadri/prospect/1st.

I much rather get Stamkos for free but I think Stevie Y would make sure he got something in return for his departing star, from us or some other franchise.

Kadri, prospect and first? Valuing your people a little high aren't we?

We've lost Vinny (buyout) AND Marty (trade), I doubt this fan base could handle YET another move like that by Yzerman. If no deal was done by the end of season/playoffs in 2016, that's when he'll be moved.

You're not getting anything for his rights.

The fan base should be happy for what Vinny did as a Bolt and that he currently isn't a Bolt. Marty on the other hand must of been a disappointment. You can't really move him after the 2016 season cause that's when he'll be a ufa unless you think you could get a pick for a sign and trade (getting that extra year on the contract. But it sounds like you have no clue whats going on.

You could get a draft pick for that extra year if Stamkos does a sign and trade.

Stamkos is classy enough to not handicap the Bolts.

More of a clue then you. I at least have level headed opinions, you live in a (frank)ing fantasy world.

Rights are worth very little. The market has consistently shown that.

This..

You can argue over the return but it will be something TB can't miss out on.

No man, it's actually called good business. I much rather not give up the above and just wait for Stamkos.

A year of Stamkos would call for a trinity trade (player, prospect, pick) and that's the most I'd, and hopefully the Leafs, would give.

And ya I'll be living in a (frank)ing fantasy world once Stamkos comes home.

When has ANYTHING worked out well in that cesspool that is your organization. They have done nothing but abuse the players that have come in, misstreated them and crucify them.

Toronto wouldn't give anything for rights knowing full well they will get him as a FA. They would be dumb to. Then again, Nonis is the GM and he just signed Carlyle to an extension.

Exactly.

And, consequently, no other team would give up much for his rights knowing that he's likely set on Toronto.

I really don't blame you for your anger. I'd be beyond pissed if it looked like my barely relevant franchise was about to lose the only thing that made it relevant.

No disagreement with any of that. Extension wasn't smart from a $$ perspective.. but more of a golden parachute than any guarantee RC sticks if things go bad .. He will be fired just as fast.. MLSE has money to burn..

Of course not but they would give up something for an extra year of Stamkos, i.e. a sign and trade.

Pretty sure they finished WEEEEELLLLLLL above the Leafs without the Stammer in the lineup for 3-4 months.

Don't bother, I'm done lowering myself to his pathetic trolling. I can only hope that he follows in footsteps of Ms. Todd, good day you wastes of air.

Lecavalier?

I like stamkos but after this season you have to extend his contract! If he does not want to you have to trade him! We can't let him walk for nothing! No reason we can't get nylander kadri and two first rounders for him.
