Nice couple of days for Tampa fans. First their C and #1 C gets locked up long term after much speculation and now this great deal to keep their big Swede with them. They will win a cup soon.

 

[WesMcCauley]

This contract is a huge steal. If he waited and became a free agent im 100% sure multiple teams would offer him 10 mill a year*7

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Did not bendover for Drouin.
Stood his ground with Stamkos.
Got a great discount on Hedman.

The only way to run a franchise really. Never let the inmates run the asylum.

 

[Menzinger]

Hedman and Stamkos likely taking pay cuts to keep their teams competitive and stay together.

Very respectable- I hope other players take notice. Especially after the terrible free agency deals that are happening today.

 

[Maukkis]

Holy god. That is a deal and a half.

Ekblad didn't take notice

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

Ridiculous steal. Hedman would be worth $10M+ on the market

 

[Ducks in a row]

Good team
No income tax
Nice location and weather

Helped make it easier to sign him for cheaper.

 

[Rorschach]

Good deal is good.

 

[DaBolts]

Question. Those saying "Steal" what number did you expect?

Seriously? I expected one of the NY teams or Boston to put a $10 million + offer to him when he became a UFA.

 

[DaBolts]

Classic.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Holy ****, I have no words, I am jumping up and down with joy lol. This Offseason couldn't get better.

 

[bloudy]

I said god damn Florida.

This made me legit LOL. Well, at least you have him locked up. Shouldn't disappoint. I would of.

Also count your blessings on Stammers. I said God damn Tampa.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Best deal of the day.

 

[Hictor Vedman*]

Ekblad didn't take notice

Ekblad signed first. Hard to notice something that didn't happen until after you signed your deal.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

Now they just convince Drouin to continue his development under the system in place and they'll continue to be a top team

 

[TheNumber4]

Wow. TB is winning a cup sometime soon. 2 great hometown discounts in Stammer and Hedman.

 

[Zaddy]

Awesome deal!

Dear lord I miss NHL Vault.

 

[Brewsky]

All of our core guys are under the age of 27. Our window isn't win in the next two years or rebuild entirely.

And how will you sign them them all? One of them has to go.

 

[Captain Timo]

Fantastic signing by Yzerman. Hedman is already a top-10 dman in the league and continues to improve each season.

 

[Iceman]

And how will you sign them them all? One of them has to go.

Yes, he is called Ben Bishop.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

And how will you sign them them all? One of them has to go.

Yes and that would be Bish

 

[FinnLightning26]

And this is the reason why we call Yzerman Yzergod. Unbelievable job by him once again.
