@DustinKeene86@toddboese Ignoring his environment is crazy, he’s by no means a defensive wizard but on a better team (like maybe the current Lightning) those +/- numbers are not happening
@Herren101@kbearbrego Yeah it’s less about “omg I miss him” for Stamkos for me than it is thinking it would’ve been a difference maker in back to back playoff exits in the first round
Hoping for a better performance now that they’re down :/
@Herren101@kbearbrego Kept Sheary, signed Hedman to a raise, and a slew of bottom sixers
Could’ve moved Sheary and replaced him with a vet minimum, with the cap going up could’ve had Stamkos scoring 40 goals at 4 million a season
@Herren101@kbearbrego No he wasn’t. Guentzel and Stamkos are not related and I really want to stop having to tell people this.
Could’ve had both, should’ve had both
@bryanalowe “Chased the money” is an insanely dumb way to say “got told to kick rocks”
Once he was told it wasn’t going to happen in Tampa, he wasn’t going to give a hometown discount to a random nhl team
@FletchousJ He never wanted that much in Tampa. He got all the way down to 4 million a year and was still told to kick rocks
Would’ve fit him in with a Sheary trade, but I’d rather have Steven mf Stamkos than Sheary and a late round pick (to get someone to take Sheary’s cap hit on)
@FletchousJ No I’m gonna respond with something something you could’ve had both and the narrative that they replaced him with Guentzel is wrong.
Imagine the two of them on the same team instead of keeping Sheary around for a month before burying him in the AHL
