nice.

Yeah. She'd be fine anywhere.

wherever he ends up, that contract will be ridiculous and will hinder the team in a few years
- Euh_Michel

And raise the price for every other star player when they need a new contract. If stamkos signs for 11 or 12 mil a year, what's Tavares worth in a few season? 13 or 14?

I ask the real dumb questions
- Fredo

No doubt.

No, but the fact somebody is gonna give him 12 million is going to ruin the league. He doesn't deserve close to that

I think we said that when Keith Tkachuk held out for 1.8 million


edit: I do agree though he will probably end up being the league's best paid player even though he is not the league's best player but guys like him rarely go to UFA so he will no doubt rake it in.

He's not worth more then patty kane. Let's be honest

yes that I agree with as per my edit above.

also the hawks weren't stupid enough to Richard Kane around for a whole year and then letting him walk away.

Doesn't matter. Kane never became an UFA.

It's settled then.

Ever heard of the salary cap? There's only that much money that can be spent....

It's settled then.

The source is legit. You may even know him.

I'm not sure exactly what Cooper and Yzerman were thinking throughout this whole thing....

they have some good players they will need to resign but I don't see one of them of the caliber of Stamkos... Hedman may be as valuable but (frank) right off with Bishop and Johnson and Palat you can replace those guys it's tough to replace a guy like Stamkos

Guy has 2 rocket richard trophy and will score 35 with both eyes closed and a hand behind his back

Sacha is back?!?!

Yeah he will surely be overpaid but we're not talking about Bobby Holik there.

That's what happens when you give 7 year deals/take them on to poop stains like Callahan/Filpulla/Cobourn/Carle.

Sacha is back?!?!

Edit: shooooooooooooooooooot!

Guys.... Weise is in MTL.

He is considered a Hawk player, so MB will be all over him. And Ladd.

It is gonna happen.
