Congrats TB! I can only imagine how crappy the whole ordeal has been for your fanbase. Props to Yzerman who managed to keep Stamkos at a very reasonable number, too--any team would have easily paid 8.5 for Stammer. Wishing he was a leaf... our loss! |

8,5 mil wow. Then that says Kane and Toews maybe got more than than they are worth. If the prize of a SUPER star is not over 10 mil in NEW deals this means that the Hawk's big cap pressure won't ease in a long time.
Don't get me wrong I love Kane and Toews, but I will except years like Kane had every healthy year from now and in my opinion Toews did not do good enough last year. - PetterKane

A deal with Allen and Bishop being the main pieces. |

Thats true, but from a gm's prospective you want to pay a player for what he is going to achieve under his contract not pay him for what he has done. And now with these deals Kane and Toews won't have much help. Can the win anyway?
Maybe am just a bit but hurt when players like shaw has to leave just because they could not have been satisfied with maybe 9-9.5 |

Honestly would have loved to have him on the leafs, but I'm ok with it. Let the leafs build the right way with draft picks and not FA. |

Now comes the back-pedaling from TO fans -
He had a bum shoulder anyway.
He had a bum leg anyway.
He has blood clots anyway.
He's got character issues anyway.
His 10-year contract from Crowley is almost up, anyway.
Those splat sounds you keep hearing are people jumping from rooftops in downtown TO.

I think a lot of people saw this coming (not the 8.5 though). It was just cool to think of him in a Leafs jersey. |

I think had he picked any destination other than TB, Leaf fans would have been bitter.
Most Leaf fans are happy for the guy - he gave a home town discount to play for the team that drafted him. |

Stammer is a warrior and a leader. Much respect to him, he could have gone market and gotten way more. Tampa Bay will have the flexibility to keep a good team around him. Kudos to him and good luck to Tampa Bay. Yzerman is a hell of a GM and 91 is a hell of a player/captain.
My early pick for winning the Cup next year. |

Obviously Stamkos realized he couldn't handle the pressure of playing in a real hockey market. So stay in TB where he can hide rather than go somewhere where he would be on call 24 X7 but could be a legend. Guess this is a good move for a coward. |

Thats why they are cowards, go somewhere they can hide instead of embracing it. Oh well, can't miss what you never had. |
