I believe that it's a mistake to overpay for anybody.

$10m for Stamkos however is essentially market value...

Might actually be below his value if you consider Kopitar got $10 million, Stamkos for me is a better player.

Hoping its 9-9.3

I would do 10 if it was a deal breaker

Yeah, I mean there's gonna be competition.

But if the Leafs sign Stamkos it's because they appealed to his inner childhood love of the buds, not because they offered him a bigger cheque or better opportunity...

Just wondering after seeing all the posted line ups....mostly mine....why is nobody talking about Tobias Lindberg.

He look fast, big, skilled and strong when he was up. Dark horse?

Still needs time I think. Too many guys in front of him right now. Still has lots of time.

No room. Even rychel will have a hard time getting a roster spot.

Good problem

I'm thinking once (if he hasn't already) Shanny gets some alone time with Stammer......he'll seal the deal !! Brendan has an uncanny way of getting things done !!! God bless him !! He's the only guy that's been honest from the get about the vision and proper approach to a complete anhilaition/rebuild !!

Burkie couldn't even make it to the sixth pick with his tie still in tact.

Anyone watching Barbarians rising?

You'll see a prospect like him being thrown in a deal this summer. IMO

7 yrs 77 mill gets it done and I'm good with that. Lots of money coming off the books next year.

I think it'll more like lipstick and leivo and Percy, guys that need waivers now and probably don't have a spot on the nhl roster.

I think we have some deals ready to go, just waiting to see where stammer goes.

bingo. I also think it won't be for the money. Of course they won't low ball him, but if he signs, it'll be him "coming home" . And I think people forget, he'll most likely be named captain as well.

Also, wouldn't it be something if he starts following Shanny some time this week on Twitter

I was sort of hoping he'd congratulate Matthews on going 1st overall on Twitter just to troll.

that would've been hilarious !!

I think they may have a deal for Fowler

I honestly wonder if Stamkos' mind is actually made up. Me and a lot on here think it is... and if it is, I wonder how long ago he made it..

Yep, them too. Liepsic I would keep. He's worth giving a shot at camp. Percy and Lievo will likely be in a deal

that would've been hilarious !!

Exactly, once we get past July 1st, lots of action will materialize.

I wonder how well written the cap circumvention rules are. Could the league for example really do anything about Sportsnet paying Stamkos $2M for 6 episodes of "Train with Stamkos!" shown friday nights during the summer of 2017?

Cooking with Stammer, Sundays at 9PM on Omni1.

Been drunk for 3 days. What's the consensus on the draft?
