Hmm. Gorges? Who looks for a "top nine" forward? What a freaking bum Vanek turned out to be. Maybe this should be a reminder that most mega free agent contracts don't work out. Look at all those who can't wait to see the Sabres through $12 mil a year at Stamkos. Those contracts most always end in regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all those who can't wait to see the Sabres through $12 mil a year at Stamkos. Those contracts most always end in regret. I would argue that the Stamkos situation is at least somewhat unique, as Stamkos may arguably be the best UFA in the last 20 years. Guys like him don't shake loose.

Look at all those who can't wait to see the Sabres through $12 mil a year at Stamkos. Those contracts most always end in regret. Not Chara or Hossa. And here's one close to your heart: not Kovy. But I agree that many turn out badly. I'd be interested to see a breakdown of elite UFAs who signed big deals at, say, age 28 or lower (i.e. where the player doesn't turn 29 until after his first season with his new team).

Look at all those who can't wait to see the Sabres through $12 mil a year at Stamkos. Those contracts most always end in regret. I just want to ask in your opinion, should they sign Stamkos and win a cup within say two or three seasons, is it worth it then? Knowing there are grenades involved that have to play out but you win a cup in the next two to three years. Is it worth it then? You better in believe it's worth it. imo.

We all want a Stanley Cup. The problem is that I am not sure the 50-60 goal Steven Stamkos even exists anymore. $11-12 mil over seven years is a potentially crippling contract.
