Quoting: Boltsbeathabs
Didn't expect Palat nor Killorn my message with Palat was if he were going to sign that cheap ur would already be done. Difference here are several.
A) Stamkos has made almost 100,000,000 they were both in the 30 area.
2) Stamkos has been here 16 years and really wZnts to be the first lifelong Bolt not named Phil Esposito.
3) He stated his young family has made roots here and it's not only him he has to think about.. which reading between the lines there's going to be a conversation similar to the one he had with Yzerman 8 years ago. Give me what you can full NMC buyout proof 4 years ill sign it.
Stamkos is coming off scoring 40 goals and 81 points.
He's still a very good productive player.
He took a discount on his last contract so Yzerman could surround him with good players..
It worked.
They won 2 Cups and lost in a SCF.
Stamkos doesn't owe Tampa anything.
He's obviously willing to take less to stay there.
You listen to him talk and it's obvious.
But the arrogance of CFACGM Tampa fans makes me shake my head.
Like the guy I just talked to.
Well if Stamkos doesn't want to take 5 mil then F him he can go somewhere else?
Why?
So you can sign Duclair? 😆
We're in the middle of May right now and I'm seeing CFACGM Tampa fans offering 5 mil.
I can only imagine what they'll be offering at the end of June.
Good thing JBB is Tampa's GM. 🙄
