Dreger: "Hearing whispers" on the future of Stamkos in Tampa

While a juicy trade idea for a fantasy league the thought should be dismissed as quickly as it's entertained. Full NMC and the captain of the Cup winning team.

Obviously this could help Tampa tremendously with their cap, he's still a productive but unnecessary piece. This shouldn't be taken seriously yet, more of a musing than a rumor.

sure, TB will trade him straight up for Eichel. ...then Eichel rehabs all season long, rinse, three-peat.

Whispers? From who Dreg, Marner's Dad?

Dreger is awful.

That said, the Lightning aren't exactly better off without Stamkos. Still a solid team. But you'd rather have Stamkos on the wing than anyone else.

Everyone talks shit about him these days but hes still good for 30 each year.

Exactly.

And if you trade Stamkos, and Kucherov gets hurt, suddenly your winger depth is thinner.

You don't really keep that kind of contract around "just in case."

6 pages in and the only offer is with 50% retention, seems like a Mike Richards-like decline without the off-ice enablers. He was the worst player on the ice in the Finals for Tampa and only looks good because of PP numbers, 6 EVP in 23 GP

I think a lot of Dregers's rumors are based on whispers only he hears.

Most of them seem to be fed to him by specific agents or teams. I'm not seeing the angle on this one, maybe it's Tampa subvertly gauging interest?

"I did not ask Stammer to waive his no-move clause for the purposes of the expansion draft,” BriseBois told LeBrun. “And I fully expect him to be in our lineup come opening night next fall.’’

Looks like Stamkos is sticking around.

I don't see how there was ever any doubt.

Tampa isn't replacing his performance for less(or even equal to) than what he costs

He's the Captain, who knows what it would do to culture of locker room if he left.

Why would he want to go anywhere anyways.

when was the last time that he broke something... he's living on his reputation for his click bait tweets

Not the first off-season we hear of Tampa Bay looking to offload Stamkos. Considering the recent report, it seems like Tampa Bay would like to but Stamkos will nix anything and won't leave unless he wants to. I suppose he's earned that right and his teammates are happy to have him around.

I can't recall, but it's probably been a while.

Usually just random blabbering about what his "sources" are telling him.

Case in point, the Coleman/Hyman thread.

Being an Isles fan his most memorable worthless rumor was Sorokin to Chicago last offseason.

One of these days he’ll be right. It’s the broken clock theory.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

He must have really good hearing to hear whispers all the way from Tampa.

Or he's just smoking Dwayne Klessel's herbs of choice. This free agent period is the equivalent of writing next year's horoscope for hockey folks.

Imagine taking $2.5m/year less to stay in Tampa only to be asked to waive your NMC.

Could be a trade to Florida, Vegas, Nashville, Dallas or Seattle... other than that he isn't waiving.

This is only a business - nothing personal.
From this point of view of Stamkos - now one of the anchors of the Tampa.
From this point of view, the answer is yes, yes, yes!!!
What does the heart say?

You make the oddest posts... almost cyptic... they're either riddles or poetry, not sure?

Not trying to be rude in any way... just sayin'.

 

[Chet Manley]

Does Dreger have a nickname? I vote for 'Whispers'.

Dregers whispering eye. Man I can not stand this guy.

Dreger used to be reliable. I'm glad Stamkos is staying in Tampa Bay. He's getting shit on and it's mostly unfair. People post about him like he's James Neal or Milan Lucic.

Dreger hasn't had a real source since Nonis (his second cousin) ceased to have a management position.
