<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dan_the_Man</b></div><div>That's why TB won back to back championships has been to 4 cup Final in the last 10 2 Other ECF L. Guys do that because they want to be here. Kucherov was coming off a 113 point season the same years as Panarin signed in New York look at the difference. Id rather have Kucherov at the same salary nevermind $2,000,000 cheaper. Point is the third leading goal scorer over the last 3 years behind Mathews and Pasternak he's making 9.5 it's a TB culture Started basically by Stamkos and Hedman</div></div>

Some may call it culture other see it as they don't have to pay state income tax and thus that savings gets them the money... I get it Hawks had the glory for a decade and so did Tampa but the salary cap will eventually have fan favorite casualties. The fact that Tampa is running on E with draft picks this team is going to be terrible in about 4 years and have no way to build its system back up. However its worth it when you get the multipole cups.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dan_the_Man</b></div><div>Listen to him speak there is a big difference in someone giving cliches and the body language and facial expressions of a person who means it. Unless Stamkos is an academy award quality actor he was speaking from the heart</div></div>

Anybody who just got ousted in the first round is going to be fired up... when his agent tells him "X" team will give you millions more and term greater than Tampa can his body language will tell a different story at that time. This will be Stamko's last chance to make some bank in FA before his career is over and he could chase 1 year vet minimum contracts if he still wants to get his name on the Cup again... that being said ... in the next 3-4 years I think Chicago's chances with Stamkos on that team are greater than Tampa at winning the cup again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jco5ta5</b></div><div>Overpaying for players on 1-2 year contracts to hit the cap floor is fine but not for an 8 year contract. Especially when Bedard is going to need a $10M+ salary in 3 years, Plus who knows what we have in Reichel, Korchinski, Moore, and Nazar. Even if they all make $5M lets say, that's $30M for 5 players. Add in $9.5M for Jones. You're at almost $40M for 6 players. Last think you want to do is start adding in Bertuzzi and Brodie.

I also don't think Hartman signs for that little.</div></div>

As for Hartman that's way more than he is currently making. I get the point about the long-term cash however with the cap ceiling increasing these mid-above avg players are going to command that type of cash.
