This is all under the assumption that he would sign with the flames of course, TB could give permission to talk to his agent, or he could just flat out deny coming to calgary as he has a NMC. If he is willing to stay, you trade for and sign him 20/10 times.
I'm gonna quote my post from the last page for you.

Stamkos, while an elite goal scorer, is incredibly overrated at everything else. He's not as dynamic, and doesn't create his team's offense the way other top talents do.
