30 years old and how many major leg injuries?
Broke it clean in two in 2013, tore ligaments in 2016 in the same leg, and missed all of this playoff with another leg injury.
That’s without counting the blood clot issue he had a few years ago.
Love the player, love the cap hit, love the age... but is he going to age like a running back?
And does Stamkos even play centre anymore? Are we asking him to play centre with those legs?
For a Late 1st and some depth pieces, I don’t say no, but there are many flags.
