They traded Powe for a third rounder and offered an extension to Nodl.

Stamkos is looking more and more like it might be what they are aiming for....

[ice grillin you]

the minute carter and richards were traded it was obvious stamkos was the target....unless you are a small market team or in full rebuilding mode you dont take 50 goals out of your lineup and not replace them

I agree, and have said this from that point...however, I've been told I'm an idiot over it a ton of times LOL

Unless you're counting on your young guys and your new goalie to make up the difference.

carter had more goals last year than all three guys they got combined....thats not even counting richards

if you are rebuilding maybe you go with unproven guys over 30 and 40 goal players but when you just signed a goalie to a monster deal that doesnt exactly signify rebuild mode...if that was the case youd give the full time job to bob

Mark Howe voted to HoF '11

take it for what it's worth, but there are a couple of different nhl guys from canada saying that the Flyers are going to make an offer to Stamkos, 10 years for $100 million.

IN

The 4 first rounders are insignificant since they never use them anyway. Not to mention there's enough young developmental talent on the roster after the trades.

[SunMo]

Tampa has said they will match any offer, but they could match and still trade him for a package better than 4 1sts.

JVR
Coburn
2 1sts

will that get it done?

might have to put in Schenn or Coturiere

[Rome]

Tampa should have no problem matching.  They're like 23 million dollars under the cap.

It's a pipe dream.

Good thing for you Tampa fans!

they also have a bunch of unsigned players and a cash liquidity problem.  i agree that the chances are he stays, but its not a mortal lock.

[Rome]

Don't get me wrong, Sunny.  I'm hoping for a miracle.  But letting Stamkos go would be like Pittsburgh letting Cindy go or the Caps letting Captain Eurotrash go.  It's just unthinkable from their perspective.

[SD]

Tampa is already paying Lecavalier $10 million per season for a long time, I don't know how happy they'd be tying up 1/3 of their cap on 2 players.

[SunMo]

normally rome, you're exactly right.  they've just farged up their cap so bad with Lecavalier's awful contract, including NMC so they may not have a choice.
