I just don't understand why the Leafs would want him. He seems like a quick fix. They've tried that route before with Kessel/JVR/Phaneuf etc. Why would they want to do that again? I'd want I develop my own homegrown talent. Stamkos makes more sense on a team that already has their own core. I don't think building around free agents is a good thing.
