I'll go out on a limb and say it won't happen.

Everything you just stated is correct. It doesn't change the fact that when the playoff dust settles Tampa is in a world of hurt cap space wise. SOMEONE with a big contract is out. Point, Hedman, Vasilevsky and Kucherov are not going anywhere. IF Stamko's is the oldest and the odd man out he's got decisions to make. Tax or no tax if Florida doesn't get him then why not Canada and Calgary? I agree just spit ballin but Tampa has a huge problem cup or no cup. And in this wierd flat cap if a team says they can't keep you then the NMCs and stuff mean very little if you know somethings got to give. Kadri had a NMC and he moved when it clear TO couldn't keep or pay him.
