have you ever been to toronto.....pretty much every murder that happens in canada is in toronto.

why would he ever leave tampa?

if it's about money......the leafs as a team are richer than the lightning, but individually the leafs would have to pay him 30-40% more than the lightning are offering for him to breakeven

if he wants to win a championship.......that's a no brainer

if he wants to be the star.....he's already that in tampa

why on earth would he want to play for a worse team, for less money, and 1000 times more pressure?

what is the 30-40% more talk all about? Are you suggesting that income tax in Florida is 0%?

Stamkos - Tampa - $9.9mil. hometown discount to stay under $10 mil. That's that.

To your murder comments....Ottawa has been kind of a dirtbag of a city lately, but our criminals(yes I'm a Leafs fan living in Ottawa)... our criminals have balls. We're more about the stabbings and less about the guns. It takes Stones(not Mark) to be a stabber.

Stamkos ain't going to TO

It takes a little gutless female dog to stab somebody!

Seriously? Murder rate in Toronto is higher than Canada average. Cool
- Kucherovski

pretty sure its one of the safest citys in Canada, go look at the stats

In 2013, Toronto was the city with the overall lowest crime rate. It recorded 3366.35 violations per 100,000 people. The rate fell 7.1 per cent from 2012 and 25.1 from five years ago. The Big Smoke was also named safest city in 2012.


I couldnt be bothered to look up 2014-15 but I doubt it did a complete 180 and drastically changed


couple hundred murders in a city of like 3 mill? go look at a same size city in the states...say Houston or Chicago

Or Camden NJ yo'

i talked to a guy once who didn't not write a blog about a rumor that a team wasn't not going to trade a guy.

For those of you saying he wont make more green in Toronto, there are other ways for athlets to make money then their cap hit. He would double his salary in personal sponsorships.

But, he is probably (hopefully) staying. If he really wants a cup.

Will Toronto Media and their fan base let them after 2 seasons? Chances are no. They will do something cray cray soon

I'm sure he lives right in the thick of it all. Crime rate is a stupid reason to use, unless a city is so crime riddled it's falling apart and descending into chaos.
