way to make us worse

I don’t care just keep Stamkos.

TSN Insiders said today Stamkos wants to stay in Tampa but they're going to have to raise their offer.

Sounds like they're Lowballing him like most CFACGM Tampa fans are.

Hawks obviously decline. That is way to much to give up for one season of a 4th liner. Hawks will just give Lafferty $3m and keep their picks.

jbb should stay strong and not offer more than 6m. get teravainen or tofolli if stamkos wants to be scrooge McDuck

With that attitude I don't blame Stamkos for not signing.

Treating the best player in franchise history like he's a 4th liner.

Classy. 🙄

He'd probably sign for 6 mil or maybe even 5 but JBB is likely offering 4.

Kick rocks.

you would hurt the overall team to sign stamkos how embarrassing

CHI declines.

Hawks at very most give up a 3rd for Jeannot but even then I would probably walk away from the deal.

Yeah, there will be a decent amount of ufa's available for 5.5-6 that JBB could look to sign. Even if they lose some goal scoring on the pp, they could add a better 5v5 player. Even if overall goal scoring goes down a little, with the defensive improvement and a healthy Vasy, goals against should be considerably better as well. They can't sacrifice the overall benefit of the team's future for Stamkos. If the deal isn't there, it's not there.

perfectly said, there should most definitely be top 6 wingers available if stamkos's asking price doesn't come down
