Don't need the crystal ball to know that Stamkos will sign with Leafs.

Leafs offer at least as good a team as Detroit, Buffalo, Mtl (seems like biggest competitor for LEafs in Stamkos signing to me).
Best staff (coach) and facilities.

Money, Leafs is cleary the best option, even at 3million less per year in contract.

Signing with Leafs, in Endorsements Stamkos could earn 5-8million a year for sure.
There's a thousand other ways he could make money by signing with leafs.
He could even set up his own clothing line, named something like 'finally home' and make some good money off of that as well..

To me it seems like a no-brainer to sign with his 'home team'; in particular for a guy that wants to prove he belongs in HHOF (bringing a cup to Toronto as the new Captain would probably do that).

Tampa, Toronto, Detroit, Buffalo (lol), Montreal (ewww). Boston and Florida kicking tires. So safe to say he remains in the Atlantic. More reason to hope he picks us.

Do the Leafs have a plan to pay Stamkos 3.5M in non-cap dollars per year thru marketing? Told the proposal has been vetted!

Hmm...this seems like one of those things that, as a 'journalist', if you're going to put it out there, you better be ready to back it up.

It's so obviously true.

Also Bob isn't a journalist, at all, Not even 1%.

Yeah, that's why I put journalist in quotes. 'Sports journalist' is one of those oxymorons. Pretty serious charge by him, I guess he doesn't want ShannaLouCock on his show ever again?

He doesn't care. He only cares if the Leafs get Stamkos and hes doing his best to make it happen.
Who cares if it's bull, if it sways Stamkos then it worked.

Do you have any numbers on endorsement deals?

How do you figure he can make 5-8MM "for sure"?

Not a lawyer but CBA seems to have grey area.

No endorsement deals by affiliated partners.

Does not say no to deals with owners iirc.

Hoping Stamkos doesn't take 3 days like Parise & Suter did to make his decision...



He's had 26 years to pick Toronto!!

Drake & Bieber will send him free tix for life. Wonderland will give him free season passes for him & his family forever. He'll get to cut the line at LCBO, and the only person to park in a handicap spot without the slip at Costco.

He's good!

Expecting the Nail Yakupov trade chatter to pick up this week in Edmonton... Plus a few other guys over there

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 1m1 minute ago
As many stated, Yakupov's value isn't great. But he welcomes/prefers change of scenery. Could be packaged. Jets, Habs had interest in season

Alexander Radulov could not find an NHL team willing to pay his asking price. He has signed with KHL Salavat.

I'm sure they contacted his agent. Like any team would. Then the rumor took off from there

Who was going on about this soccer? I have a question. How can a team like portugal winless in it's 3 games before yesterday make it this far? Figured pts would be what pushes a team into the next rounds.

aside from 2 teams from each group making it to the knockout stage... the 4 best "3rd place" teams make it. Reason why Portugal went through, along with Slovakia, Northern Ireland, and Rep of Ireland.
