Theres one important point thats not being mentioned either regarding the kessel trade....because kessels contract is unloaded......the leafs can...... ******* BRING ON STAMKOS *******please let it be lol
hearing lots of rumblings that if Stamkos does make it to UFA, Buffalo is prepared to throw a pile of money at him. hearing rumours of upwards of $12M a season for 8 years. yowsah!
if I'm Toronto I'm not sure I go that high. that's a HUGE cap hit for a very long time.
as each day goes by it gets more and more interesting. July 1 is just around the corner....
Stamkos is a great player, but no way I would give him $12 million per. That's asking for trouble down the road. Also, only TB can offer him 8 years (and only until July 1). Buffalo and others can only go a max of 7 years. Unless TB does a sign and trade.
