No that's a flat out F***ING lie they have to trade Sergachev, Cernak or Cirelli. Kero lying to yourself to make yourself feel smarter than you are Stamkos signs around 5.5(+-) a couple hundred K. And you dump Jeannot and Sheary while going with rookies and league minimum vets 22 man roster
No its Math you cant refute or you simply would instead of acting out.
Your need to act ignorantly with personal attacks says you're punching above your weight calss.
I simply talk facts as Admins are also posters and anonymous.
Ive got busted more then one cause they happen to come across me breaking rules
So when you want to debate im all for it
But i wont be dragged into a situation where i gotta deal with Admins for no reason.
Math isnt hard and anyone who can do it know that signing Early not testing UFA status if is something GMs do often with core players to avoid the distraction of the Media if nothing else.
You only wait to become a UFA if you want more money then your team is willing to give prior to July 1st.
As for "they have to trade Sergachev , Cernak , or Cirelli" . . . then why would Stamkos want to come back?
Lose any of them or any of your core 4 and its game over man
But if Stamkos leaves its no different then MSL passing the torch to Stammer who had his team and his goalie in his era.
He got Healthy in time to join Vasilevsky , Kucherov,Point, Cirelli, Sergachev,and many others some who were traded even
While Stammer took on a Veteran role with Hedman and Mdonugh to guide them
Giving away any of that Core he built is foolish
He can leave for a few years at max contract and come back to TBL later when Kucherov is basically in Stamkos position ready to pass the torch as they go on a run.
But paying Stamkos makes no sense and mark my words Mcdough coming back confirms it
You dont add 6.75m in McDonugh and this isnt really a debate worth having
But by acquiring Stammer it put TBL lightening in a position you're arguing to sacrifice the youth core who will replace the Current Core in order to save Stamkos ?
I think Brisebois passes and Stevie Y gives Stammer a call and a big contract he wants if thats what Stamkos wants.
But all i can speak to is the Math and TBL+McDough =Stamkos gone
