So does Toronto. The money will be the same from everyone so that isn't a factor. Talking to Vesey first means nothing in my opinion. If he wants to go to buffalo to play with his buddy he will do so and you could have saved a third rounder.

You would think his Dad would have the most knowledge of the situation and he said as of Sunday the plan was to wait till August and become a free agent. Buffalo might get him or might not, but I think they wasted a good draft pick for nothing.

Incorrect Sir. The cap hit of 925K is concrete for 2 years. Performance bonuses are still negotiated.

For instance... Eichel has a 2.85M bonus, Sam has a 2.65M bonus, Fasching has a $637,500, Ullmark has a 32K, Guhle has a $257K, Bailey has a $232.5K, and Rodrigues has a $82K, C. Nelson didn't get a bonus.

Showing the range of top picks, to mid round picks, to college UFA signings.

That part is negotiatable.

I was told this morning the Vesey move was made to get a sense of how likely they can sign him before "the sh!t hit's the fan this weekend and July 1st"

Vesey's checklist:

NHL Roster - advantage Buffalo
Prospect Pool - advantage Toronto
Coach - advantage Toronto
City - (huge) advantage Toronto

And this article fails to mention that, in addition to his father, his brother is also in the Leafs system

This is gonna sting, Buffalo. It's Babcock all over again...

You forgot to mention that his best friend is on the Sabres

Maybe Ek can stop being so stubborn and add the Sabres to the Stamkos destination list. Then again, it's basically a black list. nevermind.

nhl roster - advantage Pittsburgh (he gets to play with pittsburgh and they are the cup champions and have a chance for a repeat

prospect pool - pittsburgh have bad prospect pool which means bigger chance for vesey to play.

coach - advantage Toronto

City - since I from europe I have no idea about this

This is the biggest mistake uneducated fans make. Star player X moving from one team to another and thinking they will up their goal totals 50% because they have an upgrade in line mate. It's usually not the linemate that makes a difference, it's the MINUTE increase, PP time, opportunity. Stamkos already has top minutes, PP time, etc... And didn't play with scrubs either. It's why Phil kessel going to Toronto to playing with Crosby and Malkin didn't go from 60 pts to 100. He stayed at 60. Or why saad had a big increase in pts, his usage on Columbus skyrocketed. Sure a guy like stamkos can have a career year again can happen, but to think he's gonna automatically score 50 goals because eichel is better than his previous linemates can be foolish.

Toronto is not ad advantage as a city, especially as a pro hockey player. Don't be fooled. No one loves to pump their own tires like the people of Toronto.
