GDT: Out of Town Playoff Thread V

[ashnathan]

I wonder if Yzerman and company think if Stamkos would be worth a huge contract extension (Toews-Kane money) in 2016 if he continues to underwhelm during the playoffs. Given that Tampa has a wealth of great young talent, could the team do the unthinkable and trade him next year (getting a king's ransom in the process)? The team has done just fine these playoffs without its best player performing to the best of his abilities.

It will probably never come to pass, but fun to think about.

Here's an interesting one, if you're Tampa, do you send Stamkos to Boston for Hamilton? If you're Boston, do you do it?

or

Would both teams play ball and swap 1:1 Stamkos/Malkin? I think Malkin would flourish in a system like Tampa.

You don't know what you've got til it's gone.

I wonder if Yzerman is wishing he still had Connolly right now.

Wait, I thought it was a foregone conclusion Stamkos was going to Toronto? At least if you listen to Maple leafs fans...

Could you imagine Crosby feeding Stamkos one-timers?

TBay obviously doesn't shy away from the Russian players either.

It would certainly be interesting.

Think they have their jerseys confused

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

he still overpaid but his team was actually in contention this season and his best players weren't complete garbage.

But is he still the fool for doing it?

Stamkos has 18 points in 25 playoff games. Just because he hasn't performed well in one series the Bolts should not be trading a top 4 player in the league. Players aren't going to perform for all 4 series usually. Tyler Johnson has cooled off as well.

I would think Yzerman isn't as dumb as Chiarelli to trade a young superstar based off one playoff run(even though Stamkos' isn't even bad).

Unfortunately Hamilton isn't even close to Stamkos value wise. Malkin would be interesting and I think Pittsburgh says yes, TB says no.

I discount performances as the playoffs head into the final stages as 9 times out of ten you will find out a player is playing while badly injured. Kane isn't right either.
