I look at Stamkos and while yes he can score and score alot. for the money he was offered 8.5 mill per year. That's dangerously close to Sydney Crosby money.... So one has to ask is Stamkos worth Crosby money ? If your a GM and you believe so then that's where you sign him for. Yzerman is in a rough spot , if he doesn't offer 8.5 it looks like he's low balling the star and Stammer walks to UFA on july 1, if Stevie Yzerman over pays he looks a bad gm handcuffing the team.

I'm honestly not sure I'd pay Stammer 7 mill let alone 8.5. He simply hasn't been the same player he was before he went down with that nasty leg injury he suffered prior to the Sochi Olympics. For the pre Sochi Stammer , yea him I'd pay north of 8 mill.
