Player Discussion: Steven Stamkos - Part 8

[These Are The Days]

Hope Stamkos is a responsible parent and doesn't buy him any toys he can choke on.

Kids gonna have a hard time choking on sticks pucks and skates. He will probably be as proficient at skating than he will at toddling once he gains enough coordination to stand upright.

 

[These Are The Days]

I wonder where he’ll land in the draft 18 years from now.

I'm sure mayor of Toronto will have a Hortons and Canadian Tire endorsement all lined up

 

[DistantThunderRep]

God, I miss hockey...

 

[Steazy Doo]

Stamkos' playmaking was awesome this year. Hopefully he can drive his own line again.

 

[Stormbreaker]

God, I miss hockey...

The summer is coming to end not much longer to go. At least football is coming back this week should assist in the wait.

Nice collection. But this one is missing IMO:

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's not from 2018-19. I don't remember Lecavalier playing for us this year, did he?

Thought it was an all-time collection. Oopsie.

 

[DFC]

I think we'll try him and Kuch together to start the year. That always worries me, but it's easier to find linemates for Point. Maybe:

X - Stamkos - kuch
Johnson - Point - Cirelli/Joseph

 

[Rschmitz]

I liked Palat and Point together, hope they go that route

???/Gourde-Stamkos-Kucherov
Palat-Point-Johnson

I also have a feeling that Stamkos and Kuch are reunited. Stamkos I think was better last year with how he handles the puck in general, but I still feel more comfortable with Point running his own line than Stamkos.

Yeah. Stamkos/Kucherov is a double edged sword, but they're Amazing together when they're a little selfish.

I feel like Point is good for 75 points no matter what. Well, as long as the PP wasn't a mirage. Johnson - Point. -joseph would be among the fastest lines in the league, while Johnson - Point - cirelli would be among the best two way lines.

Kucherov is Kucherov, and whoever doesn't play with him will see a dip in production. But if he and stammer can keep their heads on straight, we're more balanced when they're together. Big "if" though.

 

[Max McBolt]

Point and Gourde have great chemistry together.
That duo on the PK is gold.

Gourde / Point / Johnson

That line was killing it when they were clicking.
I’d love to see them back together if Stamkos and Kucherov are reunited.

Cirelli - Stamkos - Kucherov

Cirelli - Stamkos - Kucherov

Move Johnson to 3rd line center?

 

[DFC]

Move Johnson to 3rd line center?

Or stay at 2W with either Gourde or Joseph on the opposite side, and give Verhaeghe a shot at 3C.

Either/or.

Or Alex Barré-Boulet

 

[LightningStrikes]

So apparently Stammer’s son Carter was born a day ago or so. Congrats captain!

Would easily have over 500 if it wasn't for his injury's.

 

[LightningStrikes]

 

[These Are The Days]

I propose it be forever called the 91-timer after his 400th goal.
