Anytime you have a chance to land a player of Stamkos' caliber it's worth a shot to see what it would cost.

Remarkably pipe-dreamish. Negotiations would have to go sour, the Lightning would have to suck throughout the season and be out of the race, Flames somehow make the cap space at the deadline and Calgary happens to be the only team he's willing to waive the NMC for. Plus I don't even know if the rumors of him being unhappy in TB are true or not.

Good lord though, Gaudreau - Monahan - Stamkos would score in bunches.

The biggest issue facing Tre on a deal like this is that Stevie Y is no Don Sweeney!

Maybe if there was a point in time when the Gio contract was looking undoable...

Hamilton to Calgary.

Gio and a prospect for Stamkos.

I dont think fans in eaither city would have been too upset with the captain rfa swap.

I think it had something to do with Cooper making a statement about how they were on the same wavelength - like they were triplets and then it just caught fire in the media.
