I mean I guess so sure

ristolainen is one of the nhl players LMAOOOOOO

Is that what you meant to say?

I love all these Delusional laffs homers thinking Stamkos would play there. Im going to send several links to myself to laugh at them.

He's from the area and already entertained the idea as a FA, when Tampa was the much more competitive team. Yes, so delusional after watching the same trend with other players from the area choosing Toronto; like Tavares, Spezza, Thornton, Muzzin, Gio, Bunting, Simmonds, Domi, Bertuzzi... I'm sure there are more I'm missing but I think you get the point.

He is actually pretty good defensively

Besides all that TB isn't giving Softlander more than Kucherov or Point (he's not worth as much as either). So they'll pass on making Softlander a second generation bolt.

Sounding like both guys are rentals at this point and the guy on your team doesn't sound too happy atm!

They wouldn't need to give him more. He might want the same but I doubt they can pay him more than 9.35M, I'm sure you don't think his worth that much either but just saying.

Yeah he thought about it then realized it was an utterly stupid idea for him.

At the time? Probably would have been, leaving a cup contender for the last place team in the league. Things have changed, quite drastically I may add.

"Lifestyle" has nothing to do with it.

It’s not in Kane’s personality to sign w/a team that is going to put him down on the third line. Yes he wants to win another cup, but he also wants the puck on his stick. I imagine he would want some kind of guarantee on his role during negotiations.

Go listen to his press conference after signing it . Are you saying he was lying about why he signed ? He f***ING lied huh ?
