nom_de_plume Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 Thanks guys.... I was just curious though I would bet Tampa has another good year and he resigns there. There was some talk he's a centre but I thought he had played some wing through the season and playoffs as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The odds are the same as Benning being struck by lightning. Get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Was Sundin a free agent? Does that even count? It took half a season just to convince him to come here and get paid $125,000 per game and not even make an impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Stamkos appeared at a Jays practice. This means he will be signing in TO. Babcock took the job in TO knowing Stammer is going to be a FA. TB coach Cooper dissed Stammer in the finals by hardly playing him. Let the speculation begin! BTW I do not think Vancouver is held in high regard amongst players who are Free Agents. The last big one we got was Messier....jajajjajjajajjaja When are there ever "big" free agents? Maybe 1 or 2 a year that get lots of attention? Last "big" free agent in my books was Hossa back in '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 When are there ever "big" free agents? Maybe 1 or 2 a year that get lots of attention? Last "big" free agent in my books was Hossa back in '09. Yea this is what I mean by "big" free agents, the chances a superstar in his prime becomes available on the open market are slim to none, which further decreases our chances of obtaining one. I would have said Miller as Jazz alluded to, but he is no longer in his prime years. Sundin, well he played for about half a year then bounced, not much time as a canuck. If Stammer ever hit the open market, I doubt we would have a shot even if we offered max money and everything else. Big market teams like NY, Chicago Detroit always seem to win out in FA sweepstakes.

Jiggs50 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 He's staying in Tampa most likely. His 2nd choice would be Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_ Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Does that even count? It took half a season just to convince him to come here and get paid $125,000 per game and not even make an impact. Of course it counts. The Sedins and Kesler are who they are as players in great part because of Sundin's influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Isn't he being paid in USD? Tampa is also in the States. all nhl contracts are usd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nom_de_plume Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 He's staying in Tampa most likely. His 2nd choice would be Toronto. Are you saying TO because that's his homeown? I'd think he's want to go somewhere that has a chance. TO isn't on the radar as a contender for the playoffs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe we can make a deal for him before he hits the market? Dump some salary via trades for picks. To Vancouver -Stamkos -Tampa Bay 2016 2nd rd pick To Tampa - Raymond - Ballard - 2016 1st rd pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeslerPlaysLikeACanadian Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah, especially when you could get it done for Ballard and Duco, and just keep Raymond in our top 6 forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have replaced Vancouver with Carolina and Sundin would have signed with them if they offered them the money we did. It's a lot easier to attract the free agents stars when you are a good team. Vancouver WAS desirable, now unless the player is originally from BC like someone like Hamhuis or Lucic, or has family here, it's just playing on a team fighiting to make the playoffs, for fans who are the second most critical in the league. Wheres the appeal in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharnhayre Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Tampa or the Leafs will be the destination. I would probably go with no hope in hell that we would see Stammer in a Canucks jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I think it's more likely that the Jagr zygote we acquired in the fall of '96 is finally ready to come to maturity.. Ok, Minister, it's time for me to bow down before you and admit that this is flying way over my head. Holden? Semak? Vaic? Does the use of "zygote" suggest we should be looking at a combination of players-or possibly does it mean you're saying we acquired Virtanen in the fall of '96, when he was born? Or would someone born 9 months later, so a fetus in the fall of '96, be more appropriate? I qive up. Who did you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
