It's April. It's over for Stamkos in Tampa.He's going to explore being a UFA. The time to sign him was last summer.
The tax advantage only occurs if Tampa actually offers him market value. At last report they offered him 8.5 million. Not even close enough.
The funny thing is, the tax issue never gets brought up against the Habs and they have the worst taxes in the NHL.
