    There's no fucking chance of this happening. According to CapGeek, the Flyers have $8,281,905 in cap space right now, and the Lightning have $21,836,417. The Lightning will match any offer.

    If it happens, you lose Voracek and Simmonds, since they are RFAs and not signed yet.

    I think it's cute that you guys still thought you had a chance though.

    It doesn't bother me at all, actually. It's just every team's pipe dream this season, and I find it funny.

    Even if the Flyers were to get Stamkos, they would have to pay the Lightning 4 first round picks as compensation, let Voracek and Simmonds go (basically wasting the Carter and Richards trades), and either move more players or roll with a short roster. I don't know why anyone would want that for their team. Look what happened to the Devils with Kovalchuk.

    True but you forget to mention that Tampa lost $20-25 million last year. There is no way in hell they are spending up to the cap. They also have about 4 or 5 players to sign (or add to roster) to be able to field a team.

    The Flyers have a shot for the sheer fact that they have some flexibility. I'm not saying its going to happen but its a possibility give the Flyers cap and draft situation.

    It's kind of strange how a couple of Red Wings fans are obsessed with coming in here to put down the Flyers. I mean, with all their success, Wings fans should treat the Flyers like the United States treats Costa Rica. i.e., completely ignore it :?

    Exactly. Hence, why it's funny.

    Ok #Flyers fans, I'm told that if the Flyers decide to give Stamkos an offer sheet it's for $115 mil over 12 years with a full no-trade.

    That's alot of coin to manage. I'd love to see how Homer would structure that.

    I can't quote posts on my phone, but I'd say the exact same thing to Rangers fans, Wings fans, or anyone who thought they could get Stamkos with $8 million in cap room and other players who still need to be signed.

    Would take a helluva effort to get everything done

    Then if TB takes the full 7 days they could lose out on other free agents

    Agreed, I think it has a lot to do with the minimum cap number being so high and teams "struggling" to reach it. Also part of the reason I think the Flyers have the scratch to offer Stamkos some money. Teams like Florida and Colorado are going to have to eat some higher priced salaries to make the minimum.
