Thread: Stamkos
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Chrismurtagh</b></div><div>I've never understood why someone would enact the NMC. If the team comes to you and is looking to trade you, wouldn't you think they don't value you as much as you should be? I get it's great living in Tampa, no state tax, and the team is awesome, but if it were me it would be tough for management to say we are looking to trade you and for me to want to stay.</div></div>

From a very superficial standpoint, he's contributing to the team success statistically and he probably feels like he's an important part of the team and there is no reason to trade him. And he'd be right in a sense. Having 2 one timer threats on each side (Stamkos and Kucherov) gives Point and Hedman open space since teams aren't as focused on them. If the entire game was just a powerplay, Stamkos could win the Rocket again cause with time and space his shot is lethal. He puts up points consistently, he's a huge locker room guy, he's the captain, he's a big reason for this team winning 2 straight cups. However, he plays 2nd line minutes 5 on 5, he doesn't get to start shifts in the offensive zone as much the 1st line, he's the third option when the team needs goals and he makes 8.5 mil. Next year Point is probably signing for 9 (QO) so he'd be the 4th highest paid forward on the team. I could only see him waiving if he's got a desire to play top line center again on a team that's just as offensively gifted like a Vegas. But I doubt it.

Deangelo on the other hand is an avid racist and toxic human being. Put him in a multicultural province like Ontario and yeah hes gonna need security wherever he goes.

In general what matthews did was wrong but its better than being a toxic racist human being. The media would have a field day with this and would not let up for the entire season. The matthews event was a month of headaches then nothing</div></div>

DeAngelo is a product of his dad

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DragonRaptorHybrid</b></div><div>it would at least have given everybody the opportunity to figure out if he for real learned what he should have learned from this whole thing or if he just said what he said to get people off of his back and to make a judgment from there. if he showed a real commitment to learning how to be a better human being, then i think many people would be okay with the whole thing; otherwise, we'd just rip whatever team would have drafted him next year a new one like we all just did with the Habs.</div></div>

I know but why should we dictate his punishment or whether or not he learned. He’s like an 18 year old kid, probably the superstar in his circle, it’s hard to learn lessons in that environment.
