swiss_fan 3 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 Give me one reason why, IF Stamkos will hit RFA agency, Holland should not (will not) offer thoses 4 crappy late 1st for Stamkos??? (Besides that Holland do very few moves..) Burn bridges with Steve? I don t buy that.. We have enough cap space (probably the contender with the most cap space and enough to pull it, particularly considering the 10% rule), and any 3rd-4d D-man overpaid that we could acquire won t make this team better than Stamkos will.. (+the future is with Stamkos) If a guy like Stamkos, generational talent a la Crosby, doesn t justify to throw an offer sheet to him, i m lost 1 Detroit \# 1 Fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they need to trade salary they can do so. One reason there, end thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great reasonning, They will match, so just don t try. You re right, when you have an even slight chance to add Stamkos, don t try it.. It is definitively not worth to take the risk? Besides It s really stupid to say that.. If he hits RFA market, that means there is some problems that an offer sheet will just aggravate in terms of contract structure.(may be cash flow??)

legaleaglewingsfan 75 Report post Posted July 1, 2011 This If Holland were(and there is little chance of that) to throw an offer sheet at anyone it had better be Doughty so it helps our defense Agreed, Doughty would be a good, young, replacement to Rafi. He has the O mind, a shot from the point, and is a righty. Oh and he has a little size to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
