1st, Ignoring the trade for now, you can go ***k yourself in the most respectful way possible for trying to get Sharangovich

2nd, You guys probably can't afford to keep Hanifin if you guys still want a shot at keeping Stamkos so I don't know why these rumors even started

3rd That trade is enough only for Hanifin, not Sharky

agree that that trade only gets Hanifin but tampa has a shot to resign him

Yeah they have a shot and the appeal of no taxes will probably get him at 6mil when other teams will probably need to pay 7+ but, if he does stay keeping Stamkos will be almost impossible

yea if they trade guys like Sheary it makes room too but idk if stamkos takes too team friendly of a deal

Just did a quick check on the Bolts cap situation, they have 14.5mil (if they trade Sheary) but some big holes to fill
they'd need 2 top6 forwards, 1 3rd liner and 1 4th liner I have it as
1st- Hagel-Point-Kucherov
2nd- Cirelli
3rd- Jeannot-Paul
4th- Glendening-Eyssimmont
They keep the same goalie tandem and they fill in the last Dman they need returning most of the same D
Sergachev-Cernak
Hedman-Raddysh
Perbix

Assuming Hanifin takes a little less because of taxes and is at 6mil

You're left with 8.5mil to fill in 4 forward spots and the standard 2 scratches

yea I had eyssimont with Paul and Jeannot and then adding two league minimum guys on fourth line, let Howard or another prospect play top 6 and then pay stamkos

Fair enough, it could work but, Stamkos would probably need to take a deal at around 5.5mil or less to make that happen and if that was all he wanted I would assume he'd be signed already

The only other reason I can think for Stamkos not signing is that he wants term (over 3yrs) and a full no move and Brisebois might not want to give him that for whatever reason

Lilleberg is 3 LD next without a doubt. You do realize Stamkos took the offer Yzerman had given in the previous November. So the if he was going to sign that cheap he'd be signed already is a lazy an uneducated argument.

What away to f hard work if PHI sells. I think they should at the very least try with the team they have.

We can afford to keep hanifin when we trade hedman this off season so we can afford stamkos.

Stamkos took Yzerman's offer? Do you even know your own team, before calling anybody lazy maybe don't say something stupid lol

Trading Hedman would be super disrespectful

Yes look who was GM when he Signed his last contract. Try to actually comprehending what you read and NOT SAY SOMETHING
STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steven Stamkos signed a 8 year, $68,000,000 contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Jun. 29, 2016. The contract has a cap hit of $8,500,000.. until September 11,2018 Yzerman was GM . DUHHHH

Are your **** lmfao?
You clearly can't follow the discussion that was being had before you started typing your stupid comments.

Ok I'll give you the comprehension you're obvitnit intelligent enough to understand on your own So, here it goes.
You basically stated If Stamkos were going to sign that cheap he'd done it already. I was using an historical reference showing that to be a blatantly inaccurate Lazy uneducated opinion

Obvitnit isn't a word you nitwit

So pull your head out of your rectum before telling someone they're stupid and don't know their team. Have a great day.

Rectum must be a big word for you, I'm impressed you didn't misspell it

Again showing you intellectual prowess the only debate you have in defense is a typo on a phone. Great job . I'd keep debating you but to fight an unarmed person like yourself is useless As Mark Twain said never argue with stupid people they drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience. Have a nice life ignore
