geoffcourtnall Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'd hope that JB is pursuing him... I mean if we can grab a guy like that, there's your franchise player to build around. A 26 year old Canadian scoring machine would like good in a nucks jersey. That said, would he come here? I mean surely there will be several teams will to pay the max won't there be? Would Vancouver appeal to him? Things would sure get exciting around here if it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Do we have a chance? Sure, we certainly have the cap space which is not the case for a lot of teams. Is it likely we land him? Probably not but we should certainly try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caknuckle Puck Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 yea nah.. doubt he'd come here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Pablum for the CDC masses. Stamkos is not coming to Vancouver! No and No! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Low chance. I doubt Stamkos is looking for a struggling team. Not to mention signing here would mean more taxes and longer travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 We don't have the cap space going forward. We need to re-sign Markstrom, Beartschi, and other RFA's. Once Horvat, Hutton, come off their ELC we'll have to pay them more as well as Virt and McCann. Stamkos will cost at least 10 million per season. We can't afford to handcuff the team when we aren't contending now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized27 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Here's hoping. Benning will at least make an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford to handcuff the team when we aren't contending now. There are a ton of other UFA's coming off the books in the next few years. Over $10 mil alone from Miller and Burrows. That should cover the raises to Horvat, Hutton, and Tryamkin. The year after that, the twins and Sbisa are up, for the next round. We have the room. And if you get the chance to add Stamkos, you do it. I don't think it's likely that he wants to be in Vancouver, but then again, it's a beautiful city, we have the money to pay him over $10 mil per, and he'll definitely be the top dog in town - so I wouldn't say it's beyond possible.

baumerman77 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I doubt he would want to come here for two reasons: 1) we don't have a ton of cap room compared to other teams, so if he is looking for a payday this wouldn't be the best spot and 2) we are in a rebuild and if he is looking to compete for the cup during his prime there are better options.

oldnews Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Lost a lot of respect and interest in Stamkos this year when he - as acting Captain of the Lightning - played those tweet games indicating he has one foot out the door and in Toronto. Very disrespectful to the Lightning fan base imo. Perhaps fitting that their next core would be built around more poor leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I hope we don't sign Stamkos. I do however hope more Stamkos threads pop up, this one needs a poll to reach full redundancy levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
