If Stamkos was smart he would take the $8.5 million that TB is offering. He gets a better chance at the cup, less taxes, better climate. If he takes $10-$10.5 and sign in comparatively crappy cities like Buffalo or Detroit it would be mind-boggling. Toronto even makes less sense in some ways. He would never get any peace and quiet with the media and fans. The Leafs will not be close to a cup for at least 5 years.
