Stamkos isn't bringing a cup to Pittsburh, Pittsburgh is washed up. They need to be looking at a major rebuild sooner rather than later.

Exactly this...Devils shouldn't be paying more for a goalie that makes far more and is marginally better if at all... We would just beat PIT's offer.

I disagree. If we have $2.5 million to spend on a bottom-6 forward I'd rather spend it on three or four seasons of known quantity and proven 27-year-old Blake Lizotte than on one season of 33-year-old Reilly Smith, who might not fit us any better than he fit the Penguins.
