MoneypuckOverlord Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I know somebody that played at a level were he actually played against Stamkos, believe it or not, it's really not one of those a friend of a friend of a friend, but they say Stamkos is probably the friendliest guy on the face of the earth.

shiznak Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 1 hour ago, Erik Karlsson said: He's on the decline, I definitely wouldn't want him for how much money he's going to ask for. He also needs a good playmaker on his line. He's not an Ovechkin, Kane or a Malkin who can create their own offense. His numbers will likely go down as well playing in the West as he is a pretty soft player, so anything over 8.5 no thanks. Lol, on the decline? He's 25 yrs old and is on pace for another 35+ goals. That being said, there's no way he choose Vancouver over Toronto, even if we throw the max terms and dollars at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty widely known Tbay is my 2nd team but thanks for coming out. And yes elite Centre.. Tampa is your 2nd team, but you didn't know they signed Cooper to an extension just last month and you don't know Stamkos doesn't play C. And he's Elites C meaning you know more than Cooper who just won 50 games as a coach, and took his team to the Stanley Cup Final with Stamkos playing RW. Great. Carry on. And you also know more than Steve Y who was an all time Elite C in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I would happily give him kopitar money, he's a top 5 player in the game and could you imagine him getting fed by the twins on the power play for a couple year! and get over the west is harder than the east that's in the past we are the worst division in hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 i think the canucks really have to assess how they want to construct this team in the future before going after stamkos he is not the biggest need on this team at present, defence is, we have no depth and need to address that with a free agent signing the canucks historically have avoided the elite salary signing approach, even the sedins were never paid top dollar, despite the elite talent they brought over the years the canucks either stay the course, and sign players below the most elite level salary, and seek out "value signings" or they change their course and go the chicago route, and sign a handful of core players, who consume most of the available cap, and surround that core with cheap replaceable average at best players the chicago approach may actually be the way to go, but that would be a change of mindset for the canuck team, based on what they have done in the past (try to sign high skill players for home town discount, and keep a lid on the top end salaries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical cdcer live in the past. Arguably the best player in franchise history is likely leaving because of the coach. And when did I say I didn't know about Cooper? Go start you. Never ending arguments with someone else. It's what you're good at. But you're right maybe I should have said early next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If Stamkos is willing to come here, you got to make a serious offer to get a player of his caliber. One of the best goal scorers in the game, and just entering his prime. With Stamkos on the team, it gives us a lot of options. Put him on the top line with the Sedins, or move the twins to the 2nd line with Stamkos as our 1C. An elite center that fills the seats, and we have the capspace to sign him. We'd be crazy not to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertaNuck Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Every team willingness pitch an offer, he is not coming here, Vancouver one of the most hated teams in the NHL, very hard to sign big names here, he had lots of better options,, California seems to be the place to be for big names as most of the Have good proven talent he can play with and the weather is always good like Tampa, the other ones is Toronto if he is home sick and New York because every wants to play there vancouver could pitch the biggest offer but he will settle for less else where. He is not coming here so every calm there pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 If they plan on trading Miller and Burrows, that's more than 25 million in cap space. There's enough to upgrade our D and go after a big name UFA like Stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSam Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just can not see Toronto being a more of an attractive a market, than Vancouver. Vancouver is re-tooling wisely.. Toronto is in total rebuild. Even though the Washington Capitals re-tooled around Ovie... the chemistry was there. There is no chemistry in Toronto,. Zilch. Vancouver on the other hand could potentially be the "Underdogs" of the 2016 playoffs because of chemistry. personally I would rather see us try to ensure a high draft pick,. But we have assets that might move us upward for that. if Stamkos is watching how any other teams are playing in the NHL,. For his personal reasons,. I'm sure the Canucks raise an eyebrow.

He is not coming here so every calm there pants That's your opinion. And not a particularly good one. This isn't the same team or management as the past. Vrbata WANTED to come here specifically to play with the Sedin's. Lucic has gone on record saying he wants to come here. Benning and Linden are guys people want to play for. Don't think Stamkos would have an interest playing with one of the best playmakers in NHL history? Not saying he's gonna end up here but you saying Vancouver is a hated city and no one wants to come here isn't just inaccurate, it's purely your own opinion.

As an add on, let us know how secure Stevie Y's job is after losing possibly Stamkos and Drouin and missing the playoffs in one season Not ripping on you man, but coaches are hired to be fired and any ownership group that allowed a GM to lose one of the most dynamic centers in the game age 25 and one of the highest touted prospects in the NHL in the same season while keeping the coach that caused some of the issues, not 2 seasons after losing St Louis in the same manner...well...ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
