Shedding salaries for a shot at the Stamkos lotto?

Stamkos wouldn't go to the Oilers if they offered him $15M a year. This is an overdue move by a franchise that has burned through more number ones than any team in history.
I just can't wait for McDavid to finish his 5 year sentence in Edmonton so he can sign with Toronto as a free agent, and help them win a Cup with Stamkos as captain.

Toronto will never win a Stanley Cup ever again. And all the money in the world isn't enough to make up for the endless trashy harassment the players receive from the dickhead fanbase and idiotic local media.

And Stamkos isn't going to sign with a team that hasn't won a Stanley Cup in 50 years.
Stamkos is staying in T Bay.

Things are changing and there is even insulation for the younger players. Guys like Stamkos love the media, so he will fit in well here, on top of that he will be a hometown hero, get $20M a year in endorsements and lead the team we haven't seen since Clark was leading the team.

Bigger news right now could be that the Habs just picked up Shea Weber from Nashville in exchange for PK Subban.
Hopefully Stamkos is smart enough to pick up the phone and talk to Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf before he takes any calls from Toronto. Leaving the Leafs for those two must have been as big a morale cloud-clearing event as when Barad-dur toppled and all the smog above Mordor got blown away by the new fresh wind.

That's the last place he will be playing. If this were the case, he would have signed long ago. They are not budging on 8.5M per season and he has been offered upwards of 11M from the Sabres.
He will sign with the Leafs or Red Wings, you heard it here first. 75% Chance he comes home where he belongs.

Hate to see any team, even the Oilers, give up young talent that can still be turned around with the right leadership in order to take a chance on an ageing meathead of dubious value like Lucic.

The Habs needed to move PK before July. They are both great players, PK with a higher upside, but Weber is the best defenseman in the NHL. He will finally be a well known superstars with plenty of coverage in Montreal. They will love him there.
P.K still has some upside, and he has some creativity on offense, but he is a hothead and not nearly as good a defenseman. Weber might be the best D in the league.

This is a major surprise. Why he waited so long is beyond me. He may live to regret this decision and he took a lot less money, though will pay a lot less taxes.
