Would be nice, but it's a different time cap wise.
Hossa signed for $63.3 million, but they were able to front load it and spread it out over 12 years.
The most we could sign Stamkos for would be 7 years, and he's probably going to get even more than $63.3 million on his next contract.
For argument sake, let's say he signed for just $63.3 million over 7 years, that's a cap hit of $9.04 million and would pretty much crush our future cap structure for keeping our young core together.
