Where does Steven Stamkos end up?

He is probably the highest profile player to hit free agency in the modern era.

Teams rumoured to be in the mix include Buffalo, Detroit, and Toronto. Of course he could end up re-signing in Tampa Bay as well.

I'm assuming at least 15 teams or so will make a pitch to him. Does anybody think the Flames try to sell him on the idea of a young, up and coming team and the opportunity to play center (move Bennett to wing)?

It should be interesting to see what he signs for and for how long. So where does everyone think he will end up?

Let one of those teams offer him 10M+. If I had to guess i'd say Detroit.

We have a great thing going on with our core, no need to over pay for him and i'm glad there have been zero rumours / ties to the Flames and Stamkos.

Don't we already have a thread on this? Is another really necessary?

Sigh. For goodness sake, is this really necessary? Give me the strength.

Seemed like light-hearted ribbing. Yeah they pick on you Scorpion, but it's not that bad most of the time. It just looks like an easy opportunity for a joke is all. This is classic hockey drought banter. I hate how tense it gets in here waiting for the season to start.

I think there were actually TWO threads started on this already. The 2nd was a fata of the first one.

I don't want to take this off topic but it is an opportunity to weigh in.
There is an ugly side of CP that borders (if not crosses directly) into the world of bullying. We've probably all done it. But it is ugly.
I think it is reasonable to ask a few things of both this poster and the group
- The poster should continue to strive for quality over quantity
- The poster shouldn't react to everything, including when people take a shot. Rise above it. The reaction feeds more of it.
- But in equal measures, can the community just leave the guy alone for a bit and give him a chance?
- And collectively let's not jump all over each other so much. Don't like a thread? Don't reply in it. Posting that a thread sucks only keeps it on page 1. The cool thing about a forum, when it is operating properly, is that it basically functions as a democracy. The good stuff rises to the top, and the crud quickly vanishes to page 2 and beyond. When people post to complain about a thread, that behavior is actually thing that undermines the quality of the board more than a crappy thread getting on page 1 for a very brief amount of time.

Ultimately we are all fans here, and the hate spewed around sometimes is stunning. I know I've over-reacted at times, and try to really not anymore, but we are all going to trip up.

But the way this guy is getting dog piled regularly doesn't reflect well on who we are.

I don't want the contract he likely comes with so do not want the Flames to seriously pursue.
