    I'll say it again: there has been nothing atypical in the Stamkos negotiations compared to any other franchise player who is an impending UFA.

    Of course is going to be speculation on possible destinations should he head to free agency, particularly in the Toronto media, who are salivating at the possibility like a pack of mad dogs. You think that's out of the norm?

    That's not adding any pressure to Yzerman signing Stamkos that wasn't already there. Such speculation (Stammer to Leafs) has been floating around out there since last season.

    By the way, where is Drouin? Doesn't look like he's played anywhere of late.

    Thanks. Didn't know that. I guess he is still suspended then.

    I saw in the ramblings today "Carle and Drouin for a 7th."

    I was thinking the same thing for a while now though I think the future would be better than a 7th, or there'd be a useful roster filler coming back, or the trade would be larger than that. But that Carle deal is terrible for the Bolts right now.

    That would be an absolute abomination for Yzerman. Passing on Seth Jones for a kid he moved 3 years later for a 7th rounder just to dump a bum contract. Yikes.

    I don't think that he will do that, especially seeing that he might lose Stamkos as well. That would make this season an unmitigated disaster (if it isn't already).

    But he absolutely should not have passed on Jones, especially if they knew Drouin was not NHL-ready.

    I dont think Steve was being serious when posted this. Yzerman would let him sit before making this type of trade. If anything, he would go back to Drouin and try and settle the waters and try and get him back before doing this.

    so easy to say that now. the thought of drouin replacing st.louis as stamkos' long term linemate was too hard to pass up at the time.
    in hindsight jones was the safer pick but a lot of things contributed to it looking like a poor decision today...couldn't mesh well with coach, ******ed agent, tampa's insane forward depth etc

    and if cooper wasn't the coach in tampa, he probably would have been a top 6 forward with 1st line upside, which would have been comparable to jones as a top 4dman with 1st line upside.

    When discussing why Drouin hasn't worked out in TB, I hear/read this a lot. But could it be, the reason he hasn't worked out, is because he's just not as good as everyone expected him to be?

    Nope, just look at his hero chart.

    His goal rate is very low, but he's been very productive for the limited minutes he got.

    I wonder how much of an impact an agent has on future clients when he does something like this. I know Walsh does excellent work for his players, but if you're an 18-year-old that might be a second round selection this entry draft, I wonder if there are some teams that will pass on the kid and go with someone else they rank just as high because the agent is a pain to work with.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    Now Walsh is a jerk given, but he does work for the client. On this one I think he's taking bullits for his client while his client pouts.
