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

cool bro. We choked/tanked, didn't get sweeped by the habs in the first round, and got the best looking prospect in the draft

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

That's an interesting take on it, though. I mean, if Stevie and Stammer had a private conversation and he informed Yzerman that he would not be resigning with the Bolts- I wonder who the most likely candidates would be to get in on the Stammer Sweepstakes.

Even more so, I wonder the king's ransom we'd get...

In the end, the current incarnations of BOTH franchises have won jack all to this point.

1967... 2004... both are well in the rear-view.

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.
- todd1a

You can have Kadri/any prospect other than Nylander/and a 1st round.

I think that's fair. Stamkos will have a NMC for his finally year so you won't be able to get the biggest bang for your buck.

True but one franchise has a superstar center in their view.

Now I still doubt he leaves he is going to sign the extension next summer

Sorry but Nylander and Stamkos will be playing together eventually in the six.

It WOULD be pretty cool if you guys got McDavid.

You certainly have the right to ask. Doubt you get that though. If I'm Nonis I know if Stammer isn't resigning it's to come home..I think TB gets something decent though.

Then no deal

Nonis is not going to be there he is going to get fired

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.

He could very well. But the twitter thing, how he addressed the twitter, and how his contract will end right when he is ufa age seems to be adding up to him coming home.

Fact is tampa is not rebuilding tampa gives stamkos a better chance at the cup that's what he wants! If the leafs get mcdavid start stacking up young guys then maybe you can get him to come. But as that team is now he is not coming.

Then no deal
- todd1a

Okay then me and shanny will wait for Stamkos via free agency. Enjoy the long goodbye.

Michael Stuart: Stamkos Focused on Winning in Tampa

I hope you guys win the cup in the next 2 years.

So Stamkos can lead us to the cup and eventually go in the HOF in Toronto as a Leafs.

Beautiful.

I still say it's 90 percent to tampa 10 percent he goes to the leafs.

Plot twist: stamkos leaves as an ufa...to one of the 28 other teams in cities that dont begin with the letter T

You mean the girly looking one?
- TBolts4

N-no homo.

Okay then me and shanny will wait for Stamkos via free agency. Enjoy the long goodbye.
- LeafsOneBillion

Then you risk 28 other teams getting involved!

Seriously, where's Arty? This could get super funny really fast.
