Because the Lightning are poised to win a Cup?

They won't be without him....and to be honest, if the Leafs signed Stamkos...I'd say they instantly become contenders. People say why would he want to sign with a crappy team? Because the team will no longer be crappy once he is leading it...quite simple logic.

Did Lupul play for Babcock in Anaheim? Or is the timing off?

Well, it is possible that somehow, Stamkos wants to play in Toronto.

They were saying the same thing about Babcock...If I were in Stamkos position, why would I not want to sign with Toronto? He'd instantly become a legend....I know some enjoy the living under the radar and just going through life...but if I were given the opportunity, I'd jump on it in a heart beat.
- ThePresident


It would be nice but the Leafs don't need him yet. The Leafs would be back in cap hell as it would cost them $10mil/season.

Instantly? Is he playing D too?

We still miss the playoffs this year even if Stamkos is playing for us. IMO

Lupul was under him for a bit...as a rookie if I recall.

When Joffrey Lupul was drafted in 2002, he walked to the stage at the Air Canada Centre, put on an Anaheim jersey and shook hands with all the right people.

One of them was his new coach, Mike Babcock.



There we have it.

I'm sure they will make a strong pitch...but I don't see him moving away from the Bay.

played 75 games under Babcock in 03-04. His rookie season, and Babcock's last season with the ducks.

So, we know the reason why Babcock left Anaheim. He couldn't handle uncoachable Lupul! It's all coming together.
