Yeah a 1st+ for a season of Stamkos makes sense, but what ThisIsAnOutrage was asking for was the rights to sign Stamkos.

Gotcha. To me it's a different scenario, as that would be June 17th, 2016 a year from now. (but I'm splitting hairs, so no biggie)
But, with that in mind, a 26 year old, top 3 Center is a lottery win. Easily 4 more of his best years still.
We aren't one of the absolute top destinations so if a first rounder is what we have to surrender, to have his sole negotiating rights leading to signature; then I'm still leaning towards yes. Not as convincingly though, as the concession of $9m x 7 years is daunting.
The short, yes I still do it, if he signs.
