Speculation: 2014-15 Off-Season Talk - Part II

[Lord Stan 2020]

This will be a minimum of 13 anything less would be an insult, I think.

I think we could all agree that Stamkos has not reached his ceiling yet. And at this moment I would give him 13 and considering that he will be getting even better these next two years and pretty good chance that the cap goes up would indicate to me 13 at least.

my 2 cents Robert

toews and kane I thought took 10.5 why figuring 12

13 is fine. Yet don't think he bends us over so figuring 12. Dont see anyone raising bar till he does.

 

[These Are The Days]

Whatever it takes Stamkos is worth it. He is in a league of his own in terms of being a world class sniper. If you could somehow hybrid Bobby and Brett Hull's shots into one, Stamkos' shot wouldn't be far off from it. He is the centerpiece of this entire franchise. The Sakic to our Noridques/Avalanche, Yzerman to our Red Wings, Lemieux to our Penguins etc. That's not to compare him to any of those legends but it's a fair comparison in terms of importance to his team. As a franchise we must do everything necessary to keep him around. I think it shouldn't be too hard for him right now to want to say since he very well knows how dominant the team around him could potentially be. Every time we watch him we bear witness to greatness. Remember these years because they are what we will be looking back on. Each time he scores soak in that moment and cherish it because players like Stamkos are the great ones.

It is absolutely absurd to imagine but we've lost the two most tenured players in Lightning history in Lecavalier and St. Louis and we are actually better for it because the development of our prospects has been the best in the league for several years now.

This Thursday marks the start of a new era in Lightning hockey history. As we tread down the path to the future we will have to sacrifice and if it means a lot of money to Stamkos then we gotta do it.

“Last game, I started to see it,†Eakins said. “I felt for him because he had worked extremely hard in practice. He jumped in, our pace of practice is way up, with it being much shorter. Our guys were going and he was doing his damnedest to help drive the pace. He was working extremely hard, and usually when your players are doing that it starts to creep into their game. That’s what happens. He wasn’t getting rewarded in the games but I thought he had the pace and he can certainly make a play. This guy has got really soft hands, he can find people, I think he’s going to be a danger on one of our power play units and he’s going to be a great compliment to guys who can shoot the puck. We’ve got a lot of time for Teddy and I think he’ll fit into our group quite nicely moving forard.â€

 

[DFC]

My friends have a dopey/lazy cat. It can't go 12 paces without stopping for a nap. Every movement is slow. It's the kind of cat that makes you want to yawn just looking at it. It does not move unless it absolutely has to. They used to call it Eyeore. I call it Teddy Purcell.

Makes you realize how many players we moved around this off season. Our roster really looks different.
