I say we go yandere on Stamkos. Creep him out of even looking at other teams and force him to sign for peanuts.

 

[The Macho King]

Adios muchacho.

Well... we're keeping Bishop boys and girls...

“As February 29th approaches, I am stating today that Steven Stamkos will not be traded before the NHL’s trade deadline. I have said repeatedly that it is our hope to reach an agreement with Steven on a new contract at some point, and with 27 games remaining in the season, our entire organization, Steven included, wants to focus on making the playoffs. I will keep the negotiating process strictly between the involved parties and have no further comment on the state of those negotiations.”

So we're all in this season. Time to change the motto again.

All in with what....? That's asking for a hit while sitting on 18...

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Oh boy. My eyes read only "Breaking news," "Traded," and "Steven Stamkos" as I came across the first tweet and I jumped.

I put my faith in Yzerman.

Yzerman statement: http://lightning.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=868872

Tampa Bay Lightning vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman issued the following statement today regarding Steven Stamkos:
“As February 29th approaches, I am stating today that Steven Stamkos will not be traded before the NHL’s trade deadline. I have said repeatedly that it is our hope to reach an agreement with Steven on a new contract at some point, and with 27 games remaining in the season, our entire organization, Steven included, wants to focus on making the playoffs.

FINALLY

 

[Hoek]

Well then. That ends that pointless bit of speculation.

 

[chasespace]

If he wants to come back at $9mil or less, ideally $8.5mill, that would be wonderful. But I know he can get much more on the open market and won't have hard feelings if he goes that route.

 

[Obviously]

Disappointed. I really hope Yzerman does not give into this contract, he already dropped the ball on the Cally contract, do not need another one weighing this team down.

 

[The Gongshow]

Losing him for nothing at the end of the season. He better at least show up in playoffs, if we make them!

 

[Todd1a]

And the saga keeps going ugh ugh ugh when will it end ?

 

[BoltSTH]

If it got nasty and think he is coasting ('not getting injured mode') they could leave him off the playoff roster.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I have mixed feelings about this. If we lose him for nothing, this is a bad move. If we re-sign him to a huge contract, that is an even worse move.

Trust in SFY.

 

[dechire]

Only annoying because I want this thing done with

 

[Todd1a]

I really don't care at this point sign him or get rid of him just want a conclusion to this!

 

[ThunderAlleyNomad]

You guys are acting like Yzerman can just trade him at will. Personally, I'm thinking this statement came out because Stammer has decided he won't waive his NMC.

Means he wants to sign in Tampa if he wanted to leave he would list 3 or 4 teams for yzerman to deal him to so he can sign for 8 years instead of 7.
