PrintLook at me, bloggin!
The pipe dream of seeing Stamkos in a Ranger jersey can now officially be tabled, at least for now. Stamkos has agreed to a 5 year deal to remain in Tampa, reports are the deal is worth $37.5M.
"I am excited we were able to reach an agreement today," Stamkos said. "This was obviously very important to me and I appreciate Mr. Vinik and Steve Yzerman for all their work in the transformation of the franchise as we move forward. There is no place I'd rather be than as a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning."
He forgot to say "It wasn't about the money."
For more on the deal, go see our pals at Raw Charge, the second best hockey site on SBNation.
Anyhow, busy NHL day, have at it.

Pipe dream?
Blame Len Barrie… Oh, wait, different Stamkos pipe dream. Never mind.
Typing is an adventure, and reading should be, too!

Should be UFA.. My understanding is 7 years NHL service or 27 years old. He has two years, plus 5 more years.

Correct, UFA.
If Tampa doesn’t extend him or trade him, than woah! I know what where talking about in July 2016! If the world doesn’t end of course
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
No trade without Hank – sorry.
Win or lose, I'm proud of these guys.
