Goalie Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I agree that no trade clauses are ridiculous and probably shouldn't exist. I don't blame Stamkos here either. I'd still say it's more likely that he signs in Tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Don't understand how this is complicated... don't include the no-trade clause if you think you want to trade the player in his last year. Simple. No-trade clause basically reduces the $$ amount that players ask for... if you pay them more, then you can trade them. Very basic. That being said, asking for $10 million a season while being statistically tied with Brian Little is a bit of a stretch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is willing to sign a long term deal with a team he should have a bit of say where he goes if moved. Now if the player asks to be moved during the contract then his list goes away. He goes to whatever team his team gets the best return. Edited February 19, 2016 by New_Earth_Mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 What is weird is his NMC didn't kick in until this season started. They could have traded him last off season. The Unknown Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 At the start of the season Tampa was considered a cup favorite. Injuries and you could almost say a playoff hangover from last season means they are fighting for a spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have traded him last off season. Absolutely. Terrible management by the GM. Asset management can make all the difference. If Stankos walks for nothing it's a huge huge loss to Tampa. Jets gave Buff a NTC in the early years and modified in the latter. It gives the player stability but gives the team options at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 So word is the Habs are listening to offers for PK Subban. Can't imagine they ever actually do it, unless it's some kinda massive deal. They'd need a star in return, plus some kinda solid, quality D man. Like, we're talking Stamkos + D Man for Subban + Forward kinda thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Subban at 9 million a year? No thanks. He's not as good as people make him out to be and for 9 Million a year, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arena designed for NBA not NBA/NHL. Edited February 20, 2016 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's what happens when a owner puts a gun to the county and says give me what i what or i leave and the county says leave. Moving to Brooklyn was a big mistake considering the arena was totally inadequate for the hockey fans. I don't know what the big hangup on size is i would rather have 13-14 k seats full of fans with higher tickets prices than a 19k building 3/4 full at discounted tickets.

The Unknown Poster Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Following the trade that sent Shawn Matthias to the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday afternoon, the organization was left with a whopping 12 selections in 2016: Two firsts, a second, two thirds, two fourths, two fifths, two sixths and a seventh.

Noeller Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Best thing that could possibly happen for the Leafs....dump everyone from prior regime, and start from scratch. Build through the draft, surround the prospects with the right veterans, and you might have something. Good for Babs, Shanny and Old Man Winter...

The Unknown Poster Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Leafs are certainly doing it right. Stockpiling a ton of picks. They should be bad for a few years and end up with some really good picks. I could see them trying to package some picks to move up to and really try and maximize the top picks. Eventually the Leafs will be really good. Unless they blow their wad on Stamkos. And even then, they could sign Stamkos and still get a lot better.

Ducky Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 No, because he isn't worth that kind of cash unless you are paying him for the way he played 3-4 years ago when St. Louis was feeding him the puck.
