Just like Stamkos was worth his contract when it was signed?
Yea that seems like a mistake now.
What about "one of the best playoff performers in franchise history" and "coming off a 100 point season" applies to Stamkos?
It's debatable whether Stamkos's contract will wind up good, but the fact that it was 8.5 instead of 11 means we'll probably be okay with it.
I think you're being a little hard on Kucherov based on two bad playoff series, when the guy's entire history has been full of clutch goals at this time of year.
