Player Discussion: Steven Stamkos - Part 8

[The Gongshow]

Man, I miss Marty

 

[DFC]

That looks like a highlight reel from the 80s.

 

[BoltSTH]

Maybe JBB can get Hossa to visit Stamkos, in the hope the allergy to equipment that put him on LTIR is contagious. It fixed the Blackhawks cap problems

the way Stammer was shooting pucks at Heddy, I don't think LTIR is in Stammer's future (thankfully!)

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

The third goal in that highlight is from the 8-7 game against the Flyers in November 2010 and I'm really disappointed in myself that I didn't make a post on the 10-year anniversary of that game. Absolutely nutty.

I still remember it like it was yesterday, a goal that will give you goosebumps every time you see it

Top 5 moment in Tampa Bay Lightning history, tbh.

So you wish for a guy to get MRSA and a terrible skin allergy? Even as a joke thats a bit dark.

 

[BoardsofCanada]

How is Stamkos' health? Is he expected to be 100% when camps open in a few weeks?

Nvm - I found the info I needed.

 

[KaraLupin]

If Kuchy is out, he might have to step up.

I am looking for the info everywhere and i can’t find it. Do you mind sharing the latest news on Stamkos? Thanks

[The Macho King]

He is not a source. Just as bad as Eklund.

Ah, makes sense. Didn't know he wasn't that credible, I happen to see his tweets a lot

 

[LightningStrikes]

He’s basically reporting that there hasn’t been an official update. Shocker.

 

[The Macho King]

Theres an Athletic article on Stamkos. Apparently for #60 Purcell told Stamkos on the bench it went off his pants.

What a joker.

I had to go rewatch that goal to see if it was even close.

Nope.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

As someone with a fantasy draft today, how is Stamkos looking and is he healthy?

WWill Kucherov's absence affect his point totals significantly?

He is healthy and is projected to be on the first line. I think he will still put up a lot of points beside Brayden Point and Ondrej Palat. The risk with Stamkos is the injury history but at the moment, he is healthy.

Who would you take first out of Point and Stamkos. I know Point its the better player but it is a league where Goals are worth 2 and assists worth 1, PP points are .5

I also am considering the fact that this will be Point's first season without Kucherov

I would probably take Point just because of Stamkos' injury history. I think you really can't go wrong between these two in terms of fantasy in around the 2nd round. Point did play with Stamkos last year as well, Stamkos was playing LW at the time but then got injured.

I'd still take Point, but it's close. Kucherov's absence could hurt either of them. Stamkos is the better pure goal scorer by far, but point somehow finds a way to put up goals too.

Without Kucherov, I see us depending more on Point as our main creator of offense.

 

[These Are The Days]

Stamkos won't miss a beat playing with Point. Kucherov is arguably the best playmaker in the world because of the sheer volume of chances he takes. We'll lose the extra plays Kucherov does right but the plays he doesn't are gonna go away too. Point's ability to capitalize on those calculated risks he takes will balance things out
