If Stamkos signs for approx. $10 mil per year cap hit, it should be no problem to resign him long term. There's a lot of bad salaries like Carle and Garrison and guys like Filppula and Callahan are quite expendable as well. I think they are actually in really good shape to resign him.

That's where Stamkos will need to make a tough decision. He can shoot for the tops and be the highest paid NHL player in history (and probably get it somewhere) or he can choose to take a high but workable salary and be on a winning team. He can't have both so he's the one who's got the tough decision to make, not Yzerman.

At the end of the day I think the biggest concern for Tampa would be to allow him to hit free agency. If he does I believe he will go back home and join the Leafs, particularly if he wins a cup this year.
IF he wins a cup , he would have already made millions in his short career, lived in the obscurity in a sunny locale and won his cup... As a man, what more do you have to accomplish in life? All that is left for him is raise a family and ensure his legacy is in tact... Naturally raising a family in your hometown among your family and friends makes sense... And ANYONE in hockey knows, if you want to be immortalized... win a cup in Toronto. Otherwise your just another Vinny lecavalie., who shortly after your career is over, no one will care about you...

I think they'll keep him. I know there's all the talk about having a cap-crunch, but I just don't see them getting rid of him in order to keep lesser players. They'll have to trade the Killorn, Palat, Filppula, Callahan types to make room for his and Johnson's salary

Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
The good thing about Tampa is that they have the depth to do such moves. Their farm is loaded with young players with NHL upside. Drouin,Erne,Namestnikov,Point,DeAngelo,Koekkoek. Bishop doesn't make a ton of money , but he can still be move if necessary.
Sad to say but as a Habs fan, I'm not thrilled that Tampa is in our division. They are going to be scary for the next decade.

I'm not saying Stammer is counting the days to be part of those festivities, I'm just saying there is an allure to playing hockey in Toronto, with all the history, most guys can't handle or don't want the spotlight...Stamkos comes off as someone who wants it, he wants to be the best and in the biggest market. He comes off as a type of player that appreciates history, and has a desire to build a lasting legacy.

I'm with most people here in that Tampa will do everything they can to retain him. It will not be their decision if he decides to leave.
I'm also in the boat that thinks anything is possible, but doubt he will be leaving Tampa for Toronto. These rumours come up all the time because the Toronto media needs something to report on, so they generate their own news and speculation. It happened with Nash, and the Sedins before that? The topic remains the same, the player just changes, but the result doesn't.

Boston Globe would prolly be Boston’s media doing it this time, but it did start with someone in Toronto, looking at Stamkos’s contract on CapGeek and saying omg his contract ends soon! He’ll go to Toronto!
And that was when Lebron James was rumoured to be going home to Cleveland when his contract was up. It’s a load of bullspit, but anyone can be traded, and anything can happen. That’s literally the only thing driving the story

If Stamkos is steadfast on exploring UFA after next season, sure, there is a possibility he could be traded. But why would Stamkos want to leave? Tampa appears to be a very cozy situation for him to say the least - good money, good lifestyle, beloved, great team, competitive, etc. There's no reason for him to jump ship IMO.
