Getting Stamkos, and paying the crazy price that involves, is a win now move that I don't like.
This is not a win now team, the window will open naturally.
Unless it is a crazy Hamilton type trade, where almost nothing goes the other way besides draft picks/lottery tickets I don't see why people are bullish on this.
Yeah, I get he is a superstar, but we were a 1-2 super star team not that long ago and did not win anything. And it will probably involve future stars going to TB to make this trade work. So I don't see how that gets us anywhere other than where we were in 2007 if Flames make this trade.
Whereas, on the current path the ceiling might be way higher in a few years.
