well from tampa's stand point they get a versatile, gritty forward, a solid young puck moving defenseman, a potential all star goalie and cap space to sign the guy they really want, brad richards

Everyone really wants Bead Richards...

you mean the guy they said, ehh later, to a few years ago?

Stamkos is JUST 21 years old and is already an established elite star in the league. He has 96 goals in the last two seasons alone.

Lindros sneezes and gets a concussion.

Who would be the checking line, plenty of good choices

And i LOVE giroux.

Stamkos is insane.

No Antoski ?

Sure they would. Give 7 and a half mil a year to a guy whose 10 years older and coming off a concussion instead of a 21 year old sniper coming off a MVP nomination. Why not?

Any deal that involves stamkos isn't just going to be bob, versteeg, carle, picks... It'd have to include giroux most likely, or maybe jvr.

am i a leafs fan for suggesting this?

to tam: sergei bobrovsky, matt carle, kris versteeg, 2012 1st round pick (phi)

to phi: steven stamkos and viktor hedman

you wouldn't even get Stamkos' left arm with that proposal

I think Stamkos' agent should be able to get a 8 mil a yr 5 yr deal or a 75 mil 10 year deal with a NTC.

What about the chunk of his nose he left in Boston?

We could clone our own Stamkos!!!

Stamkos is getting at least 8 million a year.

It would have to be BOB, Schenn, Carle and the 1st rd pick

No, No. No... Its Schenn and Bobrovsky for Stamkos, then Tampa signs Richards.

Flyers either trade Versteeg to Florida with 8th to Draft Landeskog or Carle to Colorado with 8th for Larrson... Both are NHL ready..

No Antoski ?

So for 500K more per year you'd trade Stamkos and sign Richards?

You don't know that...
- FLYERSROCK!

If stamkos is really available, you really think another team can't put together a better deal than what you're suggesting? Let alone that the flyers are in the same conference

Not true. If Tampa cant sign Stamkos they are ina weak position, and with no-one sure if they could sign him, the market isnt going to be much higher then a top goalie prospect, and the top forward prospect not in the NHL.

Problem with that though is we'd then have to wait 18 years 9 months before we could draft him. Fans might not be patient.
