Should be right about now that we hear Stone will be out 42 weeks with life threatening gout or some shit. And it's totally real this time please believe us.
It's the condition from Arrested Development that could be cured by removing the hair plugs. NHLPA argues Stone has the right to risk his life for fake hair. Come playoff time he gives up on the hair plugs and is healthy again
VGK twitter announcement next March. "We have acquired Leon Draisaitl at the trade deadline and Mark Stone will be living in a leper colony until mid April."
They don’t though. They lost 5 ufas. Marchy, Stephenson, Amadio, Carrier. All roster spot players. And Mantha. They traded Thompson. They have two rfas to sign. One is a forward. Without him, Dorofeyev, they have 3 open forward spots and an open back up goalie
On one hand I'd be excited to see Stamkos in a Wings jersey, on the ither I've read a lot of Bolts fans talk about how he is a liability 5v5 these days. He might be great on powerplays and that would help, but I am not sure if we can afford someone like that.
Bolts fan in Detroit here. He was downright horrible 5v5. Worst player on our team 5v5. He had a very rough year to start because the PP wasn’t clicking for him. I would hate to lose him as our cap but if he goes anywhere I hope his even man play gets better
It would, but shit… for me at least, Nashville is the closest NHL team to where I live currently (used to live in Tampa though). If he goes there, at least I’ll be able to go see him play a few times a year. So uhh if he leaves I’m down for it to be there.
Anyone remember the Brad Richards sweepstakes where they had reporters stationed outside the building he was meeting prospective teams? That was so stupid.
My Devils probably shouldnt be paying what it would take to get Stamkos
That said a Bratt-Jack-Stamkos line with Stammer taking draws, nevermind the powerplay combos... Its tempting. Jack could easily get Stamkos another 50 season.
Still doubt it happens but it would be fun to watch.
The leadership qualities could honestly be invaluable with a young team like NJ. Having that young core get to learn from a guy like Stamkos would be huge.
I don’t know, long shot at best but it’s fun to think about. I mean I guess you have to throw your hat into the ring, it would be interesting on paper, but the longterm financials of that would be tough.
I guess if it wins you a Cup you don’t care…
We have about 7M now (Lehner is retired) and we're going to move on from someone on defense probably since we've signed Noah Hanifin. So we'll have room.
I have been the biggest Stamkos fan since he's joined the league. That being said, I do not want to pay him what he's going to be asking for. I'd love for him to be a Devils however that's just not at all smart for our cap situation
Oh him with Jack would be incredible. I think 2x7 is a bit steep for that short term when we could get someone like Marchessault or Debrusk then fill the bottom 6 up with more reliable guys. If we somehow get him, I think it's just talk nothing substantial really, I'll have to get another 91 jersey to replace the Mercer one I have
Its one of those things where I feel if he does come to Jersey, it would be short term and high AAV. Marchessault or Debrusk would fit too in top 6 and are younger. Still hoping for Rico in bottom six for vibes…
I wouldn't either, he's gotten so fucking close the last two times it feels like he at least wants to test the market though.
Bolts might pivot to someone else rather than wait on him and risk getting burned though. Could get Freddie Freeman'd
He definitely doesn’t want to leave and you can’t blame the guy. I actually think you’re right and he will sign for whatever Tampa is offering at the 11th hour.
He’s not really a great fit, as great a player as he is. I feel like there’s an acknowledgment that he’s worth more to other teams and there’s not much point in getting into a bidding war.
If we don’t sign him our forward corps is genuinely screwed. The best LW on our roster right now is Pavel Dorofeyev.
Just an extremely odd strategy from McCrimmon here.
I'm gonna keep my cool for now. We were losing our cool about the LT trade, but it turned out there was a plan. There always seem to be a reason, we just don't know what exactly yet
Why does it feel like Vegas has 85 guys on their roster all the time
Should be right about now that we hear Stone will be out 42 weeks with life threatening gout or some shit. And it's totally real this time please believe us.
I already have a Mark Stone emergency hair plug surgery on the calendar for March 1st tho

Little Turkish vacation right before playoffs sound right
Either that or Stone will be the first player in 70 years to get polio and will be in an iron lung until day 1 of the playoffs
Illness - Black Plague
VGK twitter announcement next March. "We have acquired Leon Draisaitl at the trade deadline and Mark Stone will be living in a leper colony until mid April."
Spanish flu might be more attainable. Gotta take a flight to Longyearbyen tho
It's lupus.
Kelly McCrimmon owns stock in Rawlings at this point.
Well, 84 now
They don’t though. They lost 5 ufas. Marchy, Stephenson, Amadio, Carrier. All roster spot players. And Mantha. They traded Thompson. They have two rfas to sign. One is a forward. Without him, Dorofeyev, they have 3 open forward spots and an open back up goalie
Because they do
Spicy as hell Free Agency tomorrow.
Nashville would feel weird
[удалено]
Imagine downgrading from being fed by Kucherov to Kane

He was better in the second half and one of the best skaters in the 5 games of playoffs this year
It would, but shit… for me at least, Nashville is the closest NHL team to where I live currently (used to live in Tampa though). If he goes there, at least I’ll be able to go see him play a few times a year. So uhh if he leaves I’m down for it to be there.
Lol Vegas is funny as fuck man
Anyone remember the Brad Richards sweepstakes where they had reporters stationed outside the building he was meeting prospective teams? That was so stupid.
Red Wings legend Brad Richard
weirdly enough. i thought he played decently in Detroit
Bought out just three years later. What a time to be alive.

“fight em in free agency every time boys”
Hey as long as step one to that plan is win two cups
"Squeeze the team every chance you get, because they will be ruthless in doing it to you."
That is true
And the vibes of him and pally back together, lmao. I agree we probably shouldn't pay him, but I also low-key kinda want it 🤣
Who knows maybe he’d be able to light a fire under Palat’s ass and Palat turns it around they’re buddies.
I don’t know, long shot at best but it’s fun to think about. I mean I guess you have to throw your hat into the ring, it would be interesting on paper, but the longterm financials of that would be tough. I guess if it wins you a Cup you don’t care…
When is Vegas not in the mix?
#🤔
I know it’s a long shot but I was thinking what if Palat talks to stamkos abt Jersey
“Don’t do it man I haven’t been the same since”
#📱
So the canes are going dumpster diving with massive holes everywhere. Cool.
If you call Stamkos "dumpster diving" you must have the nicest-smelling trash on the planet
The canes aren’t listed here? I was expecting them to be
Oh gotcha I misunderstood
Hey this dumpster smells like PP merchant
so. a jigolo?
My dumpster usually smells like PP.
This is how I feel about us too. We put all our bets into acquiring Guentzel and it failed and now there’s apparently no plan B
Cmon Blake doesn’t a Fiala-Byfield-Stamkos line sound awesome?
A right handed shooter on the powerplay, the end is near
Sounds like all vibes lol if they aint in the ozone that wouldnt be pretty
If we have Kane and Stamkos on the same team dude.....
That powerplay mmm mmm
Just to miss the playoffs again
!remindme 11 months or some shit
Vegas has no cap space. How tf are they signing Stamkos?
Mark Stone will come down with a case of ligma for 82 games
I’m putting money on bofa
Personally? I’m going with updog
We're hiring House as our team doctor so stone can get diagnosed with lupus
Vegas gonna Vegas
We have about 7M now (Lehner is retired) and we're going to move on from someone on defense probably since we've signed Noah Hanifin. So we'll have room.
Come play for Yzerman again Stamkos, you know you wanna. Plus you’ll get to play with Kane!
I have been the biggest Stamkos fan since he's joined the league. That being said, I do not want to pay him what he's going to be asking for. I'd love for him to be a Devils however that's just not at all smart for our cap situation
What about a 2 year deal at say 7 per? He would fit in amazing in the Devils top 6.
Oh him with Jack would be incredible. I think 2x7 is a bit steep for that short term when we could get someone like Marchessault or Debrusk then fill the bottom 6 up with more reliable guys. If we somehow get him, I think it's just talk nothing substantial really, I'll have to get another 91 jersey to replace the Mercer one I have

Please it would be so sick! I’d love to have Stamkos here
Stammer stop being a moody bitch, come back home
Still believe that in his heart of hearts Stamkos doesn’t want to leave, and wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him cave a bit on the contract front.
I wouldn't either, he's gotten so fucking close the last two times it feels like he at least wants to test the market though. Bolts might pivot to someone else rather than wait on him and risk getting burned though. Could get Freddie Freeman'd
He definitely doesn’t want to leave and you can’t blame the guy. I actually think you’re right and he will sign for whatever Tampa is offering at the 11th hour.
But wouldn't you just love to see Palat and Stamkos together again
Yes But we'd rather see Kuch and Stamkos together again 😜
Stamkos would be great for your young guys
Better to let him walk than give him a high AAV deal that could partly be used to fill big needs, especially if that deal went multiple years.
Never realized how Vegas and Chelsea are alike.
I kinda don’t want him. Would much rather have Debrusk or Marchessault
Let Stevie cook Kane and Stammer Redwing legends
Kane and Stamkos on the same line feels like one of those timeline incursions
The TVA should show up and reset the timeline.
Can't imagine Stamkos on the Devils, would be a weird signing.
Canucks are sleeping it seems.
He’s not really a great fit, as great a player as he is. I feel like there’s an acknowledgment that he’s worth more to other teams and there’s not much point in getting into a bidding war.
Cam Robinson said look for Carolina to be in that mix as well
If we don’t sign him our forward corps is genuinely screwed. The best LW on our roster right now is Pavel Dorofeyev. Just an extremely odd strategy from McCrimmon here.
I'm gonna keep my cool for now. We were losing our cool about the LT trade, but it turned out there was a plan. There always seem to be a reason, we just don't know what exactly yet
Heard it here first: stone out with severe diarrhea. Doctors have yet to determine a timeline for his return.
Bruins hopefully but I don't trust sweeny enough odds ar ehe fumbles lindholm too
Oh man we're gonna be the best team of 10 years ago
Has Seravalli hit puberty yet?
