Yukoncanuck87 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This Stamkos thing is a absolute pipe dream not happening would be sweet but Bennings already got 99 problems n can't afford to make stamkos 1.

I also doubt our chances, but its nice to dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning wouldn't be doing his job if he doesn't even ask Stamkos if he's interested in coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Well they could go after Stamkos this offseason and then when Millers cap comes off the books take a run at Burns or Shattenkirk in the following offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they'll have enough room unless they can move some bodies as they'll have $8.5-$9 million in cap space, as well as Galchenyuk will eventually need a new contract. If Benning puts his big boy balls on we have a pretty good shot at Stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 lmao yeah, we'll be potentially getting Steven Stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 meh i doubt that. they could always change the plans up, but with henrik, horvat playing the way he is, sutter locked in with term, and mccaan... there are far more concerning holes on this club that are needing to be addressed. said it before, but i hope we throw our money at byufglien and brouwer.

R3aL Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 IF we got stammer hed play C not wing with the sedins. He would most likley only play with the sedins if we were on the PP or down a goal at the end of a game. And our D would still be crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC2 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 First off he has to actually hit the market first, if he's not going to sign in Tampa, and add to the fact that they are losing Drouin as well, then Yzerman may shop his signing rights to get as much as possible. Regardless of how much of a nice guy be may be he is still going to go where the money is and just about any team bidding for him will likely throw a blank cheque at him so he would really have to want to play for Vancouver. I personally would sign him if given the chance. I know the team needs defense in the worst way but I don't see any top defenseman on the market and the team needs elite talent badly as well. It's ironic to think about people complaining about not drafting an elite scorer and yet complain about the possibility of signing one at the cost of no assets. Stamkos would definitely help solve the scoring problem, which is still just as much of an issue as defense and with more contracts coming off the books in the near future whose to say they won't sign a top defenseman in later free agent markets.

bad alice french Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Stammer simply hasn't been the same player since busting his leg. He knows it and Stevie Y knows it. Still an excellent hockey player with busloads to offer but term is crippling the negotiations in Tampa. If Crosby was an UFA this off season, we'd be talking about the same thing. Bad timing on injuries can really mess up long term plans and these players all want 7 - 10 year terms. As awesome as Stammer is he looks to be hampered and slowed a bit by his leg injury and paying him 10m per for 8 or 9 years could look really bad down the line. Can't see it happening regardless, but JB needs to take a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he desires to go to Toronto and Toronto botches this one and the fans find out, heads will roll. This is Stamkos we're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 When teams draft, fans scream 'BPA' until they're blue in the face. We're drafting well under Benning - but we've not set the league alight with our UFA signings. Stamkos - if he reaches UFA status - will be the BPA through free agency in a generation. He will be approaching his prime, with more than 300 goals to his name, more than 550 points, and a Finals run with the Bolts. Anything less than $10m would rule any team out of the running, whether they're a contender or not. To guarantee being even considered as his eventual destination, we would need to be offering something near league max, full 7 year term, NMC, 'A', and eventual captaincy, along with discussions about acquiring wingers he would feel comfortable playing with. He'd need reassurance about his position - he doesn't like playing wing - and convincing that the travel involved wouldn't hamper his career. If we can offer $12m, 7 years, NMC, and sign a winger in free agency (perhaps Kyle Okposo, Mikkel Boedker or Alex Killorn), we could be in with a chance. I don't expect us to do that however, and so we will either see him sign with Toronto, or test the market before jacking up Tampa's offer and re-signing with them.
