Au début, je pensais que Stammer nous demandait plus de 8 millions, comment lui offrir un prix aussi bas ?

If this is accurate, I have no words.
At $4-5m AAV there is zero excuse to not get a deal done.
It’s a long term deal, it’s basically just cap circumvention. The idea is to pay him close to what he makes on an 8mx4y, which is probably his peak offer in UFA. He just forfeits a small amount (~775k) each year he doesn’t play. It’s a front loaded lockout protected deal, the same type suggested during the Hanifin saga.
If this is true and JBB lets him walk he should be fired Im sorry. I was in the same boat expecting him to be wanting like 6-7, but this is just unbelievable
So we’re offering $3×8 and he wants a $4.5×5? If that’s the case and JBB can’t get it done, I seriously think that Vinik needs to *at least* consider firing JBB
I don’t see how $4-$5 million is unreasonable. Get it together, JBB.
If he walks and there’s not even one move made to clear more cap space then we riot
Get rid of Sheary and/or Jeannot and see if the prospects can step up. Come on JBB
I really hope this isn’t the case. I really doubt JBB is that dumb.
So are they still talking it out???? Pls update me 🙁 I’m shaking here.
Fuck JBB and the lightning if this is true. Pretty fucking shitty way to treat your best player who has already taken a pay cut
That’s what we are offering him? Are you fucking kidding me
That’s probably the best deal we can offer at this moment before any moves are made. Let’s see what July does.
Losing the face of your franchise for THIS is definitely not a good look. If they don’t get this done before the 1st someone else is definitely going to swoop in and pay him 6m+ aav.
If this turns out to be legit? I don’t even know where to begin on the things I’ll be saying about JBB and the front office.
This makes no sense. He scored 40 goals this past year, your captain and a franchise legend. I can easily see him worth $7-8 mil per year for 3 maybe 4 years. I get the salary cap issue. If anything less is being discussed, its an easy deal.
Maybe $6 mil for 4 years or $5 mil for 6 years?
If Stamkos signed a 6×4.5M, I’d be over the moon. There’s zero reason to no land this deal.
Source?
If this is true and Stamkos walks, JBB better have a big signing to announce on Monday to fill that cap space up. Like Guentzel big. Letting Stamkos walk and filling in with a third liner or two won’t cut it.
3×8 is an embarrassing offer. If Stamkos only wants 4.5 or 5, that’s beyond extremely reasonable. If JBB wants to go in a different direction from a hockey side, I can understand and respect that. But he needs to deliver something noteworthy
