He'd probably be lower cost, his deal was 2.6M and I don't expect him to get that again. Depends on the ask really.
Could be a lower cost acquisition, if he'd be willing to take a haircut on what he was making in Columbus maybe there'd be something there
I hope they sign him and that it backfires, dumping Stamkos for him leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I'd be thrilled if someone else locked him in, I'd rather go after multiple medium sized assets.
Given taxes it'd probably come to less wouldn't it?
And who knows what the hell Tampa is doing, never thought they'd let their franchise icon walk either
Friedman says he's hitting the market and that Tampa is the team to beat

Sergachev, Marino, Valimaki, Kesselring, presumably Durzi..
Not a bad group to start your first season with, and they've still lots of cap space to work with
Because it helps them too, sometimes
In this case it gives Washington a guy who has shown he can maybe be a legit #1 to pair with Lindgren on the cheap
Thompson's cap hit ain't even 800k, that's great for a cap crunched Caps team
I'll be a little surprised if Milstein badmouths the Canucks or Vancouver, more than likely we'll have players repped by him play here in the future
We still have a couple prospects repped by him for example
He's older than Guentzel, certainly, but he's been an elite tier forward for the longest time and they tend to age better
Stamkos with Pettersson could be absolute money
It wouldn't surprise me, but I can very easily see him hitting UFA. Toronto connection or not, Dallas is the better built team and they couldn't get a deal done.
Doesn't hurt for him to at least hit July 1st and then weigh his options.
