    I think it would be good for the Leafs to have a legitimate superstar on their roster. I know that the media thing would be insane and we'd never hear the end of it, but truthfully, that franchise could use someone like him. They are overdue.

    Look at Stamkos - this is his 2nd contract right? And we're 2 years out?

    Watch Tavares suffer the same fate - 2 years before it ends I'll bet you the MSM will be on that one like vultures on a corpse.

    Oh geez I hope Stamkos does not go to the Leafs.... As a Habs fan with pretty well only Leaf fans for friends, I'll have to hear way too much about him and the Leafs for way too long... Stay in Tampa Steve! Ps. He did sound kinda non-committal. For a new captain, what a message to fans.... The parallel was made bc of Lebron, who IMO is a tool with all his stunts. I hope the hockey world remains generally immune to those, aside a few exceptions...

    People in Vancouver do the same thing. Every single BC guy is obviously going to sign with the Canucks because I don't know.

    Hell, I remember when the Toews to Winnipeg "rumors" were going around. Or Kane to Buffalo.

    It is pretty interesting that he said 'we'll see' and as mentioned by agentzero - doesn't seem like an appropriate response from your new captain.
    As a 'leaf-follower' and not really a 'leaf-fan' living in Toronto I think it would be great for them to land Stamkos but like mentioned, I highly doubt it happens.

    I'm surprised the Leafs haven't already offered Kadri Phaneuf and Reimer for Stamkos today.. Those three seem to be in a new rumor everyday..

    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.
    wait, Bobby Ryan isn't coming to Philly?

    I'm losing it. I can't deal with this for 2 more years. I'm quitting the NHL if this keeps up.

    It is interesting that professional hockey players tend not to put too much emphasis on 'going home' Lots of examples of players deciding to stay where they are or chasing a better hockey situation. I would imagine that I would want to go play for my favourite team but I guess once in the business you develop different loyalties and priorities.
