There have been several reports out of Philadelphia stating the Flyers' interest in sending Stamkos an offer sheet (reportedly estimated at 12 years and $115 million); but there are also questions of whether the Flyers have enough room under the $64.3 million salary cap to submit such an offer.

Would be interesting who would be let go to fit Stamkos in.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding. -

Re: Philly may be interested in signing Stamkos to an offer sheet
WTF is Philly doing? They already had to trade Carter and Mike Richards to make cap room for their goalie.
Who else are they going to have to give up to cram Stamkos under the cap? This could be one step forward, two steps back for them.
Either that, or they are just trying to drive up the price so a division team doesn't sign him.Comment

Re: Philly may be interested in signing Stamkos to an offer sheet
I'd be more than fine with Philly setting themselves back. This is what happens when you pile on the salaries to make a run though. You basically get a 2 year window to win the Cup, and then you're boned.Originally posted by OpIv37

Oh I don't care if Philly self-destructs either.Originally posted by BlackMetalNinja
I'm just trying to figure out if they have some strategy that I'm missing here, because Philly was pretty good last year. They should be acting like a team that needs to add those one or two missing pieces to be true Cup contenders, but instead they're acting like a rebuilding team that's still trying to get over the hump.
I just can't understand why they'd ditch Richards and Carter to fix their cap, then sign Stamkos and immediately **** it up again. The talent increase doesn't justify that.Comment

Re: Philly may be interested in signing Stamkos to an offer sheet
Stamkos aint leaving TB.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

They got solid play from no name goalies in 09, thinking they could get away with it...I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
