yeah with the guys coming up the following year they might get 1 year deal or prob gone
thats a rough situation to be in although if they were to bail on bishop and go with vasi that could save them a good chunk

If Drouin changes his mind and wants to stay then they might as well just let Stamkos go. He's going to be paid too much for too many years and they're going to lose other, younger players because of it.

They've shown they can win without him. They might be the only team in the league that might be better off just letting go of a 1st liner.

stamkos is an elite player you dont let a guy like that walk if you dont have too
and lets not get too ahead of ourselves sure drouin is having good playoffs right now
but if he struggles next season they bump him down the roster n he could ask for a trade again

If they didn't "have to" we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Jamie Benn said he wants a contract extension with Dallas before the season starts (UFA after next year).

Incoming giant contract, and very deserved.

if leafs fans didnt think they were going to make him not sign and bring him to toronto we prob wouldnt be having this conversation

what? there are other places he could land

Calgary

You'd finally have a player of halls caliber !

That's adorable. Gaudreau is God.
