Phil Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 According to Friedman on TJMS, Tampa "knows he wants to be there," and "it's all going to come down to, are they going to make an offer that he feels is legitimate enough?" Said he expects them to make a below market offer that's basically just high enough for him to say "yeah, I'll take it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 He ain't goin' no place....Levy or whoever it was doing the broadcast last night made such a big fucking dramatic story out of this. The last 7 minutes of the game was a funeral for Christ sake. All for nothing in my opinion. The guy's getting a deal done there and he'll retire when he wants to....IN TAMPA. That's my call and I'm sticking to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I can’t see him going anywhere at this point. Been there his whole career. Still plays a big role on the ice and in the room. Tampa can still compete. Plus factor in the under market value he may get from them in Florida with tax situation there, which is always an advantage for them. I see him staying and retiring there.

Phil Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 All I know is we need a "Saving Stamkos" ESPN doc about the brief moment in time that Stamkos was traded to the Rangers on a handshake agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 He's a point per game player. I can't see him taking less than what he's making now, nor should he. The question will be if Tampa wants to continue to pay that. On the other hand, he's made a shit ton of money and if he wants to stay in Tampa then he'll take a cut.

Long live the King Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Keller - Cooley - Guenther Stamkos - Geekie - Schmaltz Top 6 in SLC next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 All the talking heads have been saying that Utah plans to spend big. If TBL truly low balls Stamkos out the door, I could easily see them snapping him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) The guy is still a 40 goal scorer and had 5 goals in 5 playoff games. He's also 34 and it's hard to project when (not if) he'll fall off. Tampa also only has $12.6M in cap space heading into next season. Edited April 30 by Cash or Czech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 i could see Seattle making a play as well. I believe they are looking to spend a little this coming offseason and look for a top 6 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
