    Default ..enough already

    Steven Stamkos is a UFA in 2016....2yrs from now! and already the Sports Media is speculating he is considering the TML as a landing spot? really? as if the operating heads at the Lightning offices are not talking about extending the guy!

    if i have to hear about Samkos connected to the Leafs for two years i WILL go nuts. Ya hes from the area, but come on people, enough already!

    Classic Leafs media and fans. Every player and every free agent would be a GREAT fit in Toronto! they should totally sign there. Toronto should have a roster of 700 players, and all the other teams can just watch them practice! Dumb. So ridiculous. Stamkos is playing in Tampa for his whole career. Why would anyone ever want to play in Toronto, even if it's their hometown?

    It's like the Bobby Ryan to Philly nonsense that won't happen.

    BUT I do think there's a chance he is a Leaf. He's not helping to quiet the rumors. And he sounded non-committal to the Lightning the other day.

    If I had a gun to my head I don't know if I'd say he's a Lightning in two years.

    Oh dear... I've been proposing Stamkos might be a Leaf in 2016 as well.
    Sorry - I'll stop doing it so much.

    Which cap spending NHL team most needs a C1?
    Where is Stamkos' home province?
    Yeah... we won't be able to avoid hearing about it for the next 2 years.
    That's fo' sho!

    That shade of blue ain't too far off... is it?

    He didn't exactly say he wants to stay in Tampa past 2016, just that he's focused on winning there in the next couple of years. Him saying "we'll see what happens" is about as good as Kane saying he's still a Jet.

    I don't see him signing with the Leafs anytime soon.
    This is all LeBron's fault. I'm blaming him for this! Let's hope we don't hear that for a whole hear (until he signs an extention with the Bolts.)

    Well originally it was just a potential "imagine if" story in THN but when it was tweeted, Stamkos liked the tweet which in turn created a huge snowball effect that the Toronto media ate up like candy. Hence you will probably hear about it for the next two years especially next summer if Stamkos is not extended right away July 1st

    As a Drouin owner, this news/rumor doesn't excite me.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    it's probably bs but i think he just burned one FA year on his last deal and the guy is always drinking in Markham, my friends have seen him at Unionville Arms a bunch of times. i guess the possibility is there but i'm not gonna bother getting my hopes up until the 2016 season, you can usually tell if a big name FA is gonna re-sign or hit the market. IF he does decide to leave tampa, i think Toronto is his #1 choice. Leafs will give him a blank cheque and he will become the face of the franchise, as well as a lot more bandwagoning fans will show up and act like theyve been die hard leaf fans from birth lol

    The reality is that nobody wants to play for the Leafs but even if the Leafs had a legit shot at him you guys know they'd find some way to **** it up right?

    Plus they won't have the cap to sign him anyway, you honestly think they're going to stop doling out shitty inflated contracts between now and 2016?
    If Toews and Kane can get $10.5mil, what can Stamkos get?
    How do you afford that when you pay Bozak 4.2? And Phaneuf 7? and Clarkson and Lupul 5.25? Add a couple more contracts like that and they'll have no shot at him
