Every year on CFACGM Tampa fans believe they can lowball their UFA's and they'll re-sign.

Coleman?

Signed with Calgary for highest offer.

Goodrow?

Rights traded to Rangers.

Palat?

Signed with NJ for highest offer.

Killorn?

Signed with Ducks for highest offer.

Now Stamkos?

For 3.5?

He's taking a 5 mil paycut?

OK

Hilarious how you're signing UFA Lindholm and Lowballing your franchise player Stamkos?

A 4th next year is not anywhere near enough bribery for us to take on Sheary's contract; we gave away a similar player who's younger and bigger and on a nicer deal practically for free earlier in the year.

But how many of those contracts are now being viewed as massive overpayments. Of the ones you listed only Coleman is bringing positive value. Tampa probably offered them what they are actually worth but other teams got caught up in the playoff runs and blew their load.

I didn't say they were good contracts.

Far from it.

That's what you get in UFA.

Point is CFACGM Tampa fans were on here saying their UFA's would take hometown discounts and none of them did.

Stamkos at 3.5 mil?

Come on man.

He's not taking a 5 mil paycut.
