Speculation: The Stamkos Dream is Over

[Rexy]

Damn this is entertaining! Leafs fans are acting worse than Cavalier fans when LeBron left...burning all of their Stamkos Leafs jerseys they preemptively made.

What in the ****? What does it give you to be so bitter? Only stress. How childish.

He never made any promises.
He didn't play games despite what you may think. With the new 1 week open discussion period this year for free agents, he wanted to see what options there were.

I hope he DOES win, and many*



*As long as it doesn't interfere with the Leafs' runs when they are ready.

Great post!

No. Big. Deal.

5 years from now, we're in the playoffs and looking back on this thankful we didn't sign him for 10-12 million.

Wayyy too much of a risk IMO.

And why the heck would anyone "boo" stamkos? A hometown star deserves praise wether he signed with you or not.

My head is honestly reeling. I'm bewildered. Why does he sign the deal he was offered months ago, two days before free agency?????

This has been the craziest day in the history of hockey. I need to sit down for a minute and take a breath.

It's going to be really interesting to see how much interest Toronto even had in Stammer, and maybe even if they had any at all?

Toronto wasn't a good fit on timing as Leafs were "still growing".. and when Babcock said that recently I questioned Leafs interest.

That's odd. Oh well, no biggie.

You've been dropping hints that Stamkos was signing here for months and this is all you have to say about your false information?

Maybe it's time to drop the "I'm an insider" schtick.
