I mean, people are talking about him like he is Setoguchi in here. What is going on?

Because if we want to build a winner, signing one player to a contract like that is a good way to not be able to do it.
If the goal of the Flames is to sell a bunch of jerseys, it's awesome. If the goal is to put together a complete team that can win the Cup, it's not awesome.
Stamkos is an elite player, but signing him to the cap hit he's going to get sinks our chances of ever being a Chicago, LA or even a Boston.
