I hope he does and he ends up declining every year so they're stuck with that contract for seven years

No, no...according to many he'll score 50 as soon as he leaves.

Cross that bridge when we get there. All I know is that it's entirely possible. Usually players are more motivated when they have chips on their shoulders.

Why would he decline ? Just because we hate the leafs

Yost was 95% sure LA or Anaheim would be in the cup finals.

He's wrong a lot

And we have a few folks here that are border line delusional in their opinion that they are smarter than coaches and GM's in the league . Even some that have rings . Hello Reality checking in here . Folks on this board need to get real sometimes and realize as dumb as you think some of these NHL personal are . They are still in the NHL . You can't be a dummy to get there. Do they make mistakes at times? Sure they are Human . But 95% of the time they get it right.

Professional sports, the ultimate case study for nepotism, but you can't be a dummy to get there? Wow, just wow.

Also 95% of the time, they get it wrong.

Because he'll be playing on not as good of a team and getting older every year... Hopefully if they do sign him to a let's say 9.5 a year contract that by year three or four he drops down significantly in skill so they're stuck with him while trying to sign their young players

Spot on. I like the fact that TO is being talked up for him.
I'm good if we sign him, and just as good if we don't...although I would like to know what Plans B and C are.

If he goes to TO for 9.5 then he's just plain stupid...the exchange rate, the tax rate...all stack against the Canadian teams...and then the fan base self proclaimed center of the hockey universe. That is a lot to overcome.
That said, in their favor is Babcock, and they do have a good prospect pool building there.

I'd really like to see the Sabres make a couple of moves...one of which is to get into the top 4 at the draft...Laine, Puljujarvi or Tkachuck would look great in Blue and Gold.

So you're telling me just because he's not a good team he's not going to succeed ?
You're not talking about Thomas Vanick here I'm pretty sure Stamkos can carry himself he was doing it before we not much help .

I'm not trying to insult you but I remember back in the day where the WGR guys said Ovechkin was done and a lot of people on this site and other media outlets I guess they were wrong right ..

I know 26 is old but not that old

you guys do realize if the leafs signed him they will be better then us or we will be the same

I have no idea why you guys are wishing a 50 goal score would sign there
