He most certainly could win in TOR and I genuinely do think that the future is bright for them, but they're in that phase right now where they think that all their prospects are all going to hit their ceilings. We were all in that phase once. Lee and Nelson were going to be big, physical 25-30 goal, 65pt power forwards and Strome was going to be a 60pt playmaking winger. Truth is, they don't all pan out and reach their projections.

Stamkos has a much clearer picture of what the Islanders are and what they've accomplished with a relatively small amount of noteworthy talent. He may feel that his talents could be the team that gets the Islanders over the hump and turns them into a true contender. Whether or not he feels that way is another story, but (like we agree on) it's wholly possible.

I don't know who I'm trying to sell this to, but someone will buy it.

I hope for Stamkos' sake you never get his phone number. You'd be texting him all day long trying to convince him to come to here. I'm sure there would be at least one power point presentation.

Im totally being sarcastic.......i agree with you. I though it was funny that guys were very adamant about paying him up to 2.5 but not a penny more. Like theres a difference between 2.5 and 3 million for these owners. Ironically they prob spend that 500k in per diem money on these guys.

Wonder how this will sit with someone who's not a fan of a 3 goalie system?
Some surprising names missing frm US team too.

Martin is probably worth $2M. I'd give him $2.25M because of market demands. I wouldn't cry at $2.5M, but it's an overpayment. That's why I think a penny over $2.5M shouldn't happen.

Market demand will shift his perceived value further away from his actual value, but there has to be a point where you say enough is enough.

Totally agree, love MM and what he brings however imho 2.5 and I'm tapping out.
That said MM may not be as effective without his line mates and needs to take a long look at that, maybe he should make a call to Moulson, PA and Vanek.

Sounds like he wants to stay and they want him to but they arent paying him and he's getting his money and really why would he sign when he's 30 days away from seeing what he can get

When he says, "I hope to be back." To me the writing is on the wall. I think the lightning have proved their a contender without Stamkos why wrap up ten million in one player? They have some players to sign and they'll have room to add without him. I will say if they do wind up signing him I'd love to take a run at Killorn. Guy historically kills us. I'm a big fan of his game.
