They fleeced the coyotes who decided they wanted to make sure they got the player they wanted and didnt have to spend this year. 7 less million they have to spend to get to the floor and 1.1 million less of actual spending.

I guess that's more palatable, but they still have no business going after Stamkos unless they are going to sign him to a really long contract (8+ years) because this team isn't going anywhere until they get a few Top 10-ish draft picks who have a few years to mature and flourish (ala Chicago and Pittsburgh in the late oughts).

New rule, UFAs can be signed to maximum of 7 years, only TB can re-sign him to 8 years as an existing player.
Stamkos sweepstakes, know teams: Vancouver, Detroit , Toronto, Montreal, Buffalo, Rangers & Boston. Today is the first day he can speak to other teams.
Buffalo's GM, Tim Murray is going to 'Chase the Big Fish" 10-11M p/s offer, wealthy owner, 20M in cap space, close to Toronto for Stamkos family, Buffalo, shity market and town.....good luck.Last edited by Prime2; June 26, 2016, 01:08 PM."Whole milk, not the candy-ass 2-percent or skim milk."

That's a good point, Whitley. There really is quite a bit of parity across the NHL and the end result of that is the importance of one super star that is either a great player all over the ice or is a great Goal Tender. That's what seems to separate the haves from the have nots when it comes to play-off time.Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
