The knee worries me. But if he can get past that single injury I don't see why he can't have a healthy season and put up over a point per game over 82 games. He's definitely worth the risk.
Will he return and play 82 games per season like the begining of his NHL career ?
Could he dominate like those first few seasons ?
Is the risk of injury higher for him compare to Crosby ?

(No I don't have a hockey problem...)
His talent and ability don't scare me, he showed in the games he played last yr he is still elite.

This.
He started last season off over PPG for 17 games before the knee. I think he's definitely worth the risk. Everything suggests his injuries are streak of bad luck more than a proneness to injury. I think the good thing about his latest knee injury is that he has been skating since February, and will now have this spring/summer to train, continue rehab and strengthening.
I got Stamkos for a steal last week

Last year he started out on fire... I expect to see a full season 77-80 games of it this year!
I'm not willing to project him for PPG+, but the only guys I'm confident will do that are Sid, McDavid and Malkin (although he will miss games).
If he plays the full 82 games, I'd expect something along the lines of 40G, 30A, 70PTS.
He just married and likely the wedding jitters were getting to him. Now that that's over, look out. Still elite in my eye. May slip a tad in the old office pool, but snag him if you can. 78-82 point threat for sure.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
