[VinikToWinIt]

TERMS PLEASE. I need to know!

 

[MattM92]

WHAT THE **** IS HAPPENING IN THE NHL RIGHT NOW?!?!

I don't know what to do with my hands!

 

[Hoek]

Technically it could still be a sign and trade... but nah.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Wow, totally unexpected.

Robert, congrats, you called it.

 

[Lecavaliers Stick]

okay plz no stupid terms

 

[The Macho King]

*holds breath for the #s*

 

[DFC]

Oh ****.

The only good thing about this is Leaf fans' sorrow. This could completely screw us.

 

[dechire]

Please no. I still think it's not true.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Interested to see what the cost is...

Although, I must say, it will be great to shut toronto fans up.

 

[Brie]

Wait what? Now he's staying, well I'm not unhappy yo have him here but I hope that it's not going to cost us anyone we need...

 

[Stammer Time*]

It's so nice seeing Canada not get what they want.

 

[Steazy Doo]

If it's 8.5 I will be so pumped.

 

[These Are The Days]

It's about ****ing time. God I can't even express how much I detest Stamkos' agents and the ********* he pulled that we had to sit through.

 

[Todd1a]

I'm in shock now whats the cap hit!! ????

 

[DFC]

Well. At least now we HAVE to buy out Matt Carle.

Yzerman better hurry the **** up and get Kucherov under contract before someone screws us over with a slightly out of reach offer sheet.

This worries me a lot. We were fine without Stamkos.

 

[Hockeyfan02]

Wow! I can't believe it. He probably passed up a couple of huge offers to stay here.

 

[Brie]

If it's 8.5 I will be so pumped.

I hope he saw the numbers that was posted, how he needed to earn up to 12 million per year to make as much as e would here, and maybe no one wanted to offer that much could mean that he decided to come back here, hopefully it will be around 8.5 and nothing higher than 9.

McKenzie just tweeted 8.5 for 8 years
