There's no way that Stamkos won't test free agency, and there's no way that he won't get the maximum dollar deal and maximum term, so now it comes down to which teams can afford a $10 million dollar player, and whether he's more interested in winning or real estate.
Toronto and probably Montreal will go hard after him, they're almost obligated to by their fan base. I would expect that a team like the Flyers will take a heavy run at him as well.
I don't think that Calgary should even bother unless we want to gut our depth.
