They probably already knew ahead of time they weren’t gonna be able to sign him. But at the same time, it’s weird because McDonagh said he was traded the first person he talked to was Stamkos.
@@poejavelski148 He’s not wrong, those are all fantastic players that make up a good core in their own right. The problem Tampa has is not with Stamkos or the core, it’s the lack of young depth players with high ceilings. They can still be a contender if they make the right moves this summer.
According to Pierre Lebrun, the Lightning offered Stamkos an 8 year deal with an AAV at around $3 million. And Stammer, per the report, is looking for $4-$5 million depending on the term. I would offer $4.25 and go from there, that is a damn good deal in my opinion.
Why are teams trading for draft position already ? Is that usual ? I don’t recall that happening this much. Weird they don’t wait to see who’s actually on the board on the draft floor ?
I think the reason why the NBA works like that (trading after the pick) is because NBA teams can only trade their first round pick like every other year or something like that So by having the deal in place, but not trading g till after the draft means the next year they can deal their pick at the deadline, or when ever, because post pick swaps, do t count as trading draft picks
Stamkos has his cup so he can just get paid ,you could say he has his money also but money is power and he could use it for others if he wanted or whatever at this point it just makes sense to go paid.
As much as I love Saros and everything he has done for NSH, 7-8 years is too much. Give him a 4-5 year deal and show Askarov that you count on him for the future.
NBA have two rules that make them draft like that. you cant trade your own 1rst round pick in back to back years and you cant trade picks during the draft. also sometimes for salary cap or payroll reasons teams will trade a higher picked player for a guy a couple of picks lower to save a little bit of money because rookie contracts are based on your pick.
1:12 "... can't waive a player with a NMC..." Errrm. No! That's incorrect! You CAN put a player on _"unconditional waivers" for the purpose of a buyout,_ wether they have a NMC or not; in fact: it's still required! *The difference is:* IF they have a full NMC you have to inform them *beforehand* -- and they can simply say "no!" to it. ...

Stamkos is staying makes no sense to leave he’s a legend in Tampa got a pretty decent offer from us and we’re still contenders with a solid core, coach,and vasi. Detroit might make a run at him but who else??? That would be worth it?
If Stamkos goes to FL for less money and Reinhart stays for less money then the market demands, they will become the number 1 most hated team in the NHL because they just won the cup and they are adding more pieces for less money then other teams are offering. However, super teams in the NHL of older players never seem to work out. Someone posted Reinhart was doing 7.5 million for like 7 years or 8 years. Didn't see any follow ups so it must have been garbage.
Pittsburgh should look to sign Stamkos. They only need one more piece to improve their scoring and PP. Stamkos could be what they need for another cup run. 💪💪🏿💪
Zadorov also testing out free agency. :( I hate it, but he wants 5+ million, and we're just not doing that. Sad to see him go, but I'm super happy we were able to resign Joshua and Blueger. Got 2 of 3 of my list that I wanted resigned, so I'll take it
There’s still the possibility of signing him in July after they trade Jeannot, Sheary, and Cernak/Cirelli. They just aren’t able to sign him with the current roster situation.
Can't see Cirelli going tbh. He's a good value piece with a strong clutch factor. I'm less certain about Cernak, but it's also hard to see this team being willing to part ways with decent defensive players
@@davidrobinson3154 Eh Lilleberg wasn’t exactly awesome on defense but his physicality is useful and I thought he played well in the playoffs. Perbix and Dumba single-handedly cost the series for Tampa, possibly two of the worst defenders I’ve ever seen lol
Its absolutely not happening, given the state of the team but my god his vet leadership and scoring would be a huge plus to a young leaderless Ducks team… but Im guessing he’ll be ring hunting. Still a guy can dream
He wants 8,000,000+ there’s no way he goes to the Panthers. They already have issues signing their own players. There’s just no way. He’s done in Tampa. His time is over. They don’t have enough money to sign him and his agent is already said they’re going to market. Like he’s going to get paid. He doesn’t wanna take a discount and he is going to get like eight or 9 million somewhere else.
@@thedoomofvalyria6466 Too worried about protecting their first round playoff revenue that is why they give all the leverage / money to their stars...LoL
Tampa has problematic issues when dealing with their HOFers when they get older. St-Louis, Lecavalier, Stamkos : all had to leave on bad terms. feels like montreal ngl
@@neptunepriest Let's not forget that one of those Cups were essentially won without Stamkos. The biggest difference between 20-22 (deep runs) and 23-24 (1st round exits) is the quality of defense on the team. That's why we chose McDonagh over Stamkos.
The last several captains that have moved on have left massive voids. When I think of Tampa, Stammer is the guy that comes to mind first. I don’t think you’re sounding dramatic at all
From the beginning of the season, Stamkos talked about being frustrated with having no talks about an extension. He's arguably Tampa's greatest player ever, and it feels weird that he's going to test the market. It just felt like he was gonna end his career there.
They prioritized other players over him and pushed it to this point. He’s someone you should slightly overpay just to have him retire with you and not play for someone else. This is like Jeter leaving the Yankees rather than retiring with them.
@bostonwarrior4824 not saying your wrong, but he might feel like he was taking a discount while they were competitive, and this is his last shot at a big contract.
@@thebigpicture2032 8 million was a huge bargain of a contract for Stamkos at the time, he was easily worth $10 million or more for a long time. But that time has passed, he isn’t worth that anymore.
I think Stammer not sticking around is a blessing in disguise for Tampa. The Lightning's contention window is pretty much closed, Stevie's basically become redundant in the current forward lineup, and teams like the Red Wings, Pens, and Caps can tell you countless stories about the dangers of keeping a cooked old guard around for the feelgoods instead of letting them go and working towards the future as quickly as possible. Stamkos leaving could easily be the difference between a quick retool and a long, painful rebuild.
Yeah. Nostalgia doesnt win cups. Fans forget this team didnt improve until they had to part with Vinny and Marty. Kucherov and Point are the future and really if not in 4 years then now is the time to start building around them. The only difference is the lack of organizatioal depth and draft picks which needs to be addressed. I think the team also realizes in the Tampa market that success puts butts in seats. If this team doesn't make the playoffs for consecutive years fans will not show up. So the strategy is to not miss a beat and always keep the window open. What is unfortunate is that JBB gave out some big contracts with term the last few years to players that didn't necessarily need all of that. It's probably part of what is hindering the Stamkos renewal.
I know you didn’t talk a lot about this, but what do you think of the award show last night? I thought it was terrible. That guy trying to make fun and imitate Kucherov was just a joke, and it was so embarrassing and cringe. They need to do away with the award show. It’s terrible and it gets worse every year.
Stammer not retiring a bolt, all because they prematurely traded for McDonough should in all honesty be a fireable offense for Brisbose. A 6-7x3 deal should of been manageable, but he f'd himself trading for an old dman making 6.75. Resiging dumba for 3m would of been just as useful.
As a Nashville fan, I absolutely hate this Soros deal. He should be on his way out. He has shown time and time again, he is not a franchise goalie, and they are going to pay him like one...Askarov should be looked to become their starter soon. This contract is going to backfire, mark my words.
I think Stamkos ends up in Either Boston, Nashville, Minnesota or Detroit (With Carolina being the secret 5th option depending on how the canes designing of players goes.)
It seems that Brisbois prefers an aging McDonagh, who he traded, over Stamkos, a sure fire Hall of Famer and face of the Lightning. Did he really think Tampa's defense was going to improve by trading McDonagh in the first place? Ryan played a huge role in those Cups, and in my opinion trading him was a mistake, This, however, seems like a bad move. Perhaps Brisbois will sign Stamkos in the late hours, but I won't hold my breath. Tampa fans are all too familiar with the hall of fame caliber players getting unceremoniously dumped as they age. I'm bummed out over this scenario.
Also important to note that Nashville said they'll be looking for a new backup on the market and plan on starting Askarov in the AHL yet again. Hopefully he ends up getting moved because it feels like a lot of teams are not giving their younger goalies a chance even if they're probably ready to face NHL shots
I also say the same about Tarasanko! I know you didn't talk about him, but people think he's on the move again as well. Another target as well as Stamkos by the rags! Tarasanko just bought 2 houses in Florida, 1 in Ft Lauderdale by Panthers practice facility and another rin Miami!
In terms of Saros, I used to be the same guy as many and worry about what it means for future… However, the reality is, Saros proved himself. It’s 8 years otherwise the cap hit would be near 10M. At this cap hit and stable performances from Saros they will be able to trade him out. But Askarov isn’t starter yet, he needs experience. I think great decision by Nashville. Stable tandem, and there always be Toronto which will need a new goalie every other year 🤷🏻♂️
Stammer in Vancouver could be a great get considering Guentzel is likely to sign in Carolina. Stamkos will be cheaper and I’d rather have him for 4 years @ $5M than Guentzel for 8 years @ 8.5M
As an American I fear that they won't choose Jaccob Slavin because he's all Substance no Flash him with Quinn Hughes is a dream. Also with the Goalies between Hellebuyck, Oettinger, Demko, and Swayman, who do you keep off the roster. It's funny because any one of the 4 could compete for the starter role with the other 3 countries. Team Canada is thinking (sarcastically) "man so whoever gets cut can we give them citizenship so they can play for us"
The Lightning have Serious cap issues, with only a little over $5mil available, barring a trade. Stsmkos won't do that home town discount; which then leads to the other top free agents, like Guentzel, etc. Will Stamkos be in limbo, awaiting other dominoes to fall? I would think so, despite his pedigree. Would hate to see the Panthers sign him. The Hurricanes are an interesting conundrum. If they don't re-sign Guentzel, do they make a play for Stamkos? Alot of scenariios brewing.
The NBA draft trading system is 100% backwards. Between that and their 2nd rd taking place in a tv studio, the NHL outclasses the NBA with their draft by 10x.
Pittsburgh should sign Atkinson. I think he works out with Sid every off-season, so there could be some good Guentzel like chemistry there if Dubas can't get him back.
As a Tampa resident and Lightning fan. I'd prefer Stamkos to stay here. But at the same time, I think if he left, we'll survive. He's on the back end of his career. Yes he stil has some good years. But depends on the price.
Finnish defense is not very deep so Lindell is already a lock. Not to say he isn't good player, but out of these 24 for players he is only one who isn't a star player in your normal sense. Hintz would have been as obvious lock also so maybe they just wanted to go with 3 forwards and 2 d-man.
Wasn't Suter bought out by Minnesota few years ago? How much he makes from these two teams even if he would decide retire? Or is that cap penalty Dallas have to pay going to the NHL and not to the player?
Would love to see Stamkos on the Rangers if he comes in at a reasonable price. His grit and leadership role will be so helpful in a playoff run next year. I think Messier was 33 when the Rangers last won. Stamkos is now 34.
I feel like Stamkos outlived his time in Tampa, come home back to Canada. Tampa doesn't want you no more. Seeing all these comments about taking old yeller out back.
Like most Stars fans, not very sad to see Suter being bought out. His play last year was marginally better, but it is better suited for a younger player. Good career to say the least, but the contract was not good with Dallas. Hope Bichsel is ready at some point next year and Tanev can be resigned.
This I'd rather see as a Hurricanes fan. Losing Guentzel after finally going all in, would be a MAJOR gut punch. Stamkos would be a perfect fit for the Canucks, with a 4 year deal. Jim Rutherford isn't afraid to go that route, so stay tuned.
Personally, I'm still hoping Stammer joins the red wings and i'm not a fan of either team. Just seems like it would be a right fit and Detroit used to take veterans near the end of their career
Nashville is crazy to keep Saros around… they aren’t winning a Cup until they finish building a new roster. They should build around Askarov and re-tool the rest of their roster
Chance of Stamkos going to the leafs is 0%. Chance of the media saying it is possible for clicks 110%
Another 10 million dollar contract for the leafs, and they still don't have defence or goaltending
Stamkos won't be a Leaf. It'll make no sense and cripple them financially even more. As a Leafs fan I DO NOT WANT Stamkos. This is not 2016.
The Leafs suck and always will..
The Dallas Cowboys of the NHL!
Chance of gambling companies making a small fortune 1 zillion % 😉
Probably Detroit because of the Yzerman connection.
I'm surprised they brought back McDonagh without keeping Stammer.
They probably already knew ahead of time they weren’t gonna be able to sign him. But at the same time, it’s weird because McDonagh said he was traded the first person he talked to was Stamkos.
Sure will be weird to see Stamkos in anything other than a Bolts jersey….
I said the same thing a couple days ago and was gonna say the same thing again now.
especially when its going to be red florida jersey 😎 (jk its so unlikely)

Second I heard Stammer is on free market - then Detroit makes perfect sense. Stamkos, Kane, DeBrincat, Raymond, Sieder...Larkin

Guess he doesn’t care about winning anymore championships then. I’d think he would go to a contender.
@@imthebeatplug_8319 That's right...Detroit is ON HIM! GO WINGS!

First Thought I had, as a Detroit FAN is "YES" Stevie knows him and boy, that would be neat for a couple years

the idea is likely that they'll trade saros when askarov is ready to take over, like what calgary did with markstrom to make room for dustin wolf
He wouldn't accept that. He has to agree ya know
If nsh don't give him that, other clubs will.
Why is it too much? Lock him up long term and you can get a great return for him if and when Askarov takes the helm.

Some team will inquire about Askarov at the draft, but if the Preds get too greedy, they backed themselves into a corner. Stalemate!
I also say the same about Tarasanko! I know you didn't talk about him, but people think he's on the move again as well. Another target as well as Stamkos by the rags! Tarasanko just bought 2 houses in Florida, 1 in Ft Lauderdale by Panthers practice facility and another rin Miami!
In terms of Saros, I used to be the same guy as many and worry about what it means for future… However, the reality is, Saros proved himself. It’s 8 years otherwise the cap hit would be near 10M. At this cap hit and stable performances from Saros they will be able to trade him out. But Askarov isn’t starter yet, he needs experience. I think great decision by Nashville. Stable tandem, and there always be Toronto which will need a new goalie every other year 🤷🏻♂️
This year in the NHL , THG , takes a break from doing hockey history videos lol
Stammer in Vancouver could be a great get considering Guentzel is likely to sign in Carolina. Stamkos will be cheaper and I’d rather have him for 4 years @ $5M than Guentzel for 8 years @ 8.5M
The reason for the draft then trade is due to the CBA rules in the NBA. I agree, it's a bad look.
As an American I fear that they won't choose Jaccob Slavin because he's all Substance no Flash him with Quinn Hughes is a dream. Also with the Goalies between Hellebuyck, Oettinger, Demko, and Swayman, who do you keep off the roster. It's funny because any one of the 4 could compete for the starter role with the other 3 countries. Team Canada is thinking (sarcastically) "man so whoever gets cut can we give them citizenship so they can play for us"
The Lightning have Serious cap issues, with only a little over $5mil available, barring a trade. Stsmkos won't do that home town discount; which then leads to the other top free agents, like Guentzel, etc. Will Stamkos be in limbo, awaiting other dominoes to fall? I would think so, despite his pedigree. Would hate to see the Panthers sign him.
The Hurricanes are an interesting conundrum. If they don't re-sign Guentzel, do they make a play for Stamkos? Alot of scenariios brewing.
Stamkos is purely a power play sniper. Not really a play-driving center
Yep, he needs to be paired with a playmaker to be effective.
@@thebigpicture2032 Kane/Larkin/Stamkos?
The NBA draft trading system is 100% backwards. Between that and their 2nd rd taking place in a tv studio, the NHL outclasses the NBA with their draft by 10x.
Pittsburgh should sign Atkinson. I think he works out with Sid every off-season, so there could be some good Guentzel like chemistry there if Dubas can't get him back.
As a Tampa resident and Lightning fan. I'd prefer Stamkos to stay here. But at the same time, I think if he left, we'll survive. He's on the back end of his career. Yes he stil has some good years. But depends on the price.
Finnish defense is not very deep so Lindell is already a lock. Not to say he isn't good player, but out of these 24 for players he is only one who isn't a star player in your normal sense. Hintz would have been as obvious lock also so maybe they just wanted to go with 3 forwards and 2 d-man.
Wasn't Suter bought out by Minnesota few years ago? How much he makes from these two teams even if he would decide retire? Or is that cap penalty Dallas have to pay going to the NHL and not to the player?
Would love to see Stamkos on the Rangers if he comes in at a reasonable price. His grit and leadership role will be so helpful in a playoff run next year. I think Messier was 33 when the Rangers last won. Stamkos is now 34.
Tampa is done. loooooooooool
Nothing wrong with rebuilding it can lead to good things.
I feel like Stamkos outlived his time in Tampa, come home back to Canada. Tampa doesn't want you no more. Seeing all these comments about taking old yeller out back.
Using Soros in a thumbnail for a vid about Stammer heading to market was oddly prescient...
Like most Stars fans, not very sad to see Suter being bought out. His play last year was marginally better, but it is better suited for a younger player. Good career to say the least, but the contract was not good with Dallas. Hope Bichsel is ready at some point next year and Tanev can be resigned.
Leaf's need to trade for a Nashville backup...IMO ...get the Russian
I would honestly love to see Stamkos in a canucks jersey if they cant sign guentzel, ive always loved stamkos right from when he entered the league
This I'd rather see as a Hurricanes fan. Losing Guentzel after finally going all in, would be a MAJOR gut punch. Stamkos would be a perfect fit for the Canucks, with a 4 year deal. Jim Rutherford isn't afraid to go that route, so stay tuned.
Stamkos is signing with Florida $3.5mil 2 year deal with conditional 3rd year.
I don't get why Lindell being top 6 would surprise you; he is the second best Finniah defender in the league right now.
Canada-with Marchand and Crosby, great connection but aren't they too old now for high compete tourneys.?
Stamkos thinks he is better than he actually is.
Slow, defensive blunder, not needed for their first cup.
Great shot, thats it.
Personally, I'm still hoping Stammer joins the red wings and i'm not a fan of either team. Just seems like it would be a right fit and Detroit used to take veterans near the end of their career
If the nucks can't get Guentzel we will happily welcome Stamkos!
Askarov posted on his Instagram story after the Saros signing announcement saying “everything happens for a reason” 😅
I’ll be happy if he gets a contract elsewhere 😊
Nashville is crazy to keep Saros around… they aren’t winning a Cup until they finish building a new roster. They should build around Askarov and re-tool the rest of their roster
He can't stay in Nashville then if he wants to become a starter one day
@@GWh135 Kinda depends on how expensive you think Askarov will be by the time they're finally ready to compete
@@user-by3nd4rm6c Everyone else with expensive contracts they have now will be gone by that point so it doesn’t really matter.
Sarros MAY be a sign and trade.... wouldn't be shocked. watch for it
Why do you only mention division rivals when talking about stamkos leaving? Do you enjoy my pain?
It's going to be weird seeing Stamkos in another jersey. He still puts up great numbers, I wonder why he is the odd man out
He wants ten million i heard
It will be strange to see him in another jersey but age injuries and 10 million makes him the odd man out.
@@Derberbeveyeah there is no way is sign him for ten. I heard he was offered 3 but wants 6. He can easily get 6.
@@Derberbeve Sounds like the perfect fit for the Maple Laughs.
@@MrXanderii Offering him 3 would be so insulting.
I think it would be weird to see Steven Stamkos playing for a team other than Tampa Bay.
Time for toronto to grab a former first round pick who wears no. 91 in the free agent market and make him the captain... Oh wait.
Stammer to Utah
welcome to the NBA where the fouls are only on no names and the draftpicks dont matter.
