What The Lightning Just Did To Stamkos Was DISGUSTING...

- How many of you remember the 2008 marketing campaign called Seen Stamkos? How time flies! 16 years, 555 goals, and 2 Stanley Cups later, it is hard to believe that Steven Stamkos' time with the Tampa Bay Lightning has come to an end. I have no issue with him leaving, but I do have an issue with how Julien Brisebois and the Lightning handled it, and that is the topic of today's video.

*NOTE*
In post, I realized "The worst period in franchise history" was a bit hyperbolic. OK Hockey LLC's ownership was tumultuous, but not as crazy as when the Lightning were allegedly owned by the Yakuza in the 1990s.
stop supporting overpaid athletes & this garbage league. Watching grown men play games is lame af anyway
@@JackieBillyTom lol... They are underpaid for current support. I do sympathise with sports ball lame, can't deny it entertains.
And to rub it in, Nashville even has tampa's 1st and 2nd round draft pick next draft
They leveraged off Tanner & Ryan. Both wins on their end, the Tanner trade was the worst trade in the 21st century.
Guentzel will be really good playing with Kuch and Point. Bolts might end up winning the cup.
@@Baleygrryour more delusional than a maple leaf fan 😂😂
@@brianterlecki7106 Your team?
How much more will JBB feed Nashville?
Didn’t the lightning treat Vinny Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis like moldy old bread after they were done with them too?
Yeah, they bought out Vinny and Yzerman left St.Louis off the Olympic team, even though he just lead the league in points.
@@TheBluelineHockey They did, that makes it OK!
I wish Steven all the best in nashville
Calgary fans were super mad when Gaudreau left and Calgary got nothing in return. Now TB just lets Stamkos go for nothing. If I was a TB fan, I wouldn't be anymore. LOL.
Sounds like you might be a flames fan? Does your stated sentiment about TB fans, also hold for you because the flames lost Johnny for nothing?
Calgary sucks!!
*Never trust management*. I would agree on that
tampa offering $3m/year is incredibly insulting. Avs, Wings, found a way to keep Yzerman and Sakic. Stamkos is on that level and you find a way to keep him while he is producing WHICH HE IS! He isn't 38 and only put up 30 pots last year....duded is a PPG player who put up 40 goals last year.
Additionally, he scored 5 goals in 5 games in the first round loss vs. FL.
And yet, we get these self-anointed "cerebral" and "impartial" and "unemotional" internet contrarians lauding this move in how and why it was made.
Laughable.
Did you know, DID YOU KNOW that it is highly unlikely to keep winning cups and it's _ok_ to not win every year? Sometimes it's better to just be happy with what you've got.
Nope, whore city.
As a Penz fan I get why moved on. You want to see your favorite players with your favorite organization, but there's a catch when their price tag drags down the team because they can't produce like they used to.

@@bobabooey4537 I'm a Keystoner who doesn't spell the king'z english...
Stammer and Marchie, good for the Preds.
Brisebois is loyal to one person......Himself. He treated Stammer with a disrespect so terrible, every single Tampa fan that liked him (trust me it wasn't that many to begin with) hates him now.
this
These new corporations buying clubs is turning the league into crap.
Vegas did the same with Johnathan Marchessault
Not the same, Vegas is still a young team in terms of how long they have been in the league. But hear what you’re saying.
Every single one of these players are over paid! It’s why I don’t support any major leagues at all. Three million dollars a year should be plenty for anyone!
who freaking cares? the money is coming out of ownerships pocket, not yours. i say let them get paid. they work harder than some suit and his 50m/yr "performance bonus"
@@Cheapshot420420I guess you never buy tickets to games. Ignorance is amazing in this one!
Love 91 and you are right-total disrespect.

They had enough money to pay Guentzel but they didn’t have enough money to give Stamkos what he wanted! Pretty disgusting
Brisball has to go.He needs to be released stamcoast outscored.Gunsel, that's a terrible move
Great Video Post !!! Thank You !!💯👍🎯
The team owns a player it's their choice
Let him walk just to give guenztel 9mill per. I’d rather have Stammer at his pred cap hit
I think Stamkos was great, but there were some championships where they didn't need him. Players like Vas, Point and Hedman are way more impactful.
$3 million over 8 years?! Ummm... I think that was meant to be $8 Mil over 3 years. Somebody transposed the numbers on what they heard was an 8 X 3 offer. 😂
they got a bunch of over the hill old guys. IF it doesnt work they are basically in trouble for the next 4-5 years
Who are these old guys you speak of? 😂
The players will eventually get it and then they will have no more team!
The team that’s known for releasing star players
Franchise prosperity > player's outrageous demands
NHL team owner gets 50% of all the money! Players get 50% of all tickets and jersey sales! 23 players get the Same money as one owner! Who is greedy?
LOL Stamkos' salary minimum (around 5 mil) was 'outrageous'.
Nashville got that HAWK TUAH
Come on. Stop with that
@@robgranberg7854Y
@@robgranberg7854 ya it was funny for a bit now its beyond cringe.
good ol hawk tua!
Even Gretzky got traded, it is business with a stupid Cap that they have to manage.
I agree they used him up and let him go. It’s the same as business do the same thing to everyone in America! What have you done for me today not what you’ve done in the past. Period
If the bruins did this to bergy there would of been a riots in the streets of Boston
Exactly.
Tampa should be in shame, Dumping Stamkos like they did , Disgusting ,
that cant be true they offered only 3m.
I'm sure Tampa will be all over him when he retires and pretend nothing happened. Oh, it's "just" business. Maybe he'll surprise them when he goes to the HOF?
Absolutely nothing disgusting there.
TB paid him handsomely for his services,they made him extremely rich for the rest of his life.
TB owes him nothing/Stamkos
owes them nothing.
Life goes on
Succinct summation of my feelings. I will be heartbroken to see Stammer in another sweater, but JBB's job is to put a winning team on the ice. Take this from someone who's only missed maybe 20 games of Stammer's career, this team's present and future got better this summer.
@@underpant I agree, this is wonderful. What a wonderful way to treat Stamkos. It's excellent. We are all just overjoyed to dump this bum. Nothing is owed. Toss out the jerseys now. Fuck him and his banner. Succinctly.
He has a better chance of getting another cup in Nashville. TB will be lucky to make the playoffs next year.
If she don’t wanna hawk tuah I don’t wanna talk to her.
💯
I still got that sticker son
Ps this is the 2nd time tampa just dumped the face of the franchise. So looks like im a 1 year nashiville fan jst like inwas a 1 year philly fan. Stammer has proven so much there tbis on3 actually stinks
You really don’t get it at all but that’s cool.
Business over feelings. Team over player.
Money over ethics.
@@IusedtohaveausernameIliked where does ethics fit in? Keeping Stammer for the feels is not good business
@@that_guy0_0 In a civilized world there is always room for ethics in every endeavor. Making it about "feelings' is missing the point on purpose.
@@IusedtohaveausernameIliked help me understand how ethics fits in this situation
@@IusedtohaveausernameIliked are you saying not signing him was unethical? If so, how?
The 8x3 was offered as far as we know, he just wanted more AAV. I can't blame him, but at the same time this is a business. Stamkos' totals from the year paint a picture of him that isn't necessarily accurate either, given how poor his 5v5 play was for most of the year. It would've been prudent for the front office to reach out to him and let him know they were interested in keeping him, but only if the dollars made sense. As things stand it seems like Brisebois was ready to move on before the year had even started.
I just got the sense that Tampa never truly valued him which sucks. I remember in 2016 that Tampa's offer which Stamkos would eventually sign was significantly lower than other teams. Yzerman basically said to Stamkos that if he loved being a Lightning, he will have to accept the contract even if it was less than his market value which he accepted because he truly did love being a Lightning. I don't blame him for wanting to get fair value for once in his career considering other teammates got fair market value for their extensions.
Why would you sign a 34 year old to a 8 year contract? Who the hell plays until their 40 now a days. LOL.
Huck tuah girl lmao
It’s the tax hit ..it’s the same as there former teams. I knew he would end up with cali Florida Dallas Vegas or Nashville.
When a team does it it's awful and when a player does it he only gets praise. Hockey is a business not only for players but for everyone.
I thought that as well, but the 8x4 is a crazy contract. He's probably got 2 good seasons left where the 8 mil looks reasonable. Even Alex the great at 38 this season looked slow and out of his league. His production 5v5 has already fallen off a cliff, he's made up points by becoming a PP specialist but that won't work as well in Nashville. He's probably a 50-60pt guy in the 3rd year, 40-50 in the 4th . A million or two extra a year for the good feels is one thing, but Stamkos basically is getting twice his likely value over the contract.
Time will tell of course but he could also be productive all 4 of those years to, with today’s advances in physical conditioning and nutrition, much more possible than ever before. It’s a risk, but one Nashville was willing to take, and I’m definitely wearing a new Predator Stamkos sweater to my first game!
Hawk Tuah
IYKYK
i dont really have sympathy for guys making millions a year to play a kids game. who cares.
Im switching teams from the ligntning to the Panthers because of this.
Wow and just after Florida won a cup, what a coincidence!
Thats pathetic and sucky lol.
KUCHEROV FOR “C”❤
That’s the business.
Its a business dude , this is no worse than no trade clauses that give players complete control. He got paid very very well for playing in Tampa. I hope the Leafs do the same with Tavares.
Who cares chit happens
stamkos is no ordinary player
They paid him million and million, poor little hockey player... he's(like all others) just a mercenary, he won't cry for his next 24 million.
Dumb take, they made him millions and provided a team to win the cup. That's not disgusting. Back to reality plz.
Theres no loyalty from players to their teams, or from teams to their players...Its about money, imo
its part of being a player they know this is part of the business
Its part of the business
The players get obscene amount of money to play
Get treated like royalty
Get into bidding wars with other teams when contracts are up
And yes. One day it all comes to an end
Stamkos is playing his last few yrs
😅
Lol. Are we supposed to be sad when a multi million dollar athlete's career starts to wind down ? I'll save my tears for the guy on my street who gets laid off at the warehouse
They don’t owe Stamkos anything. They must have seen decline in his game and knew it would be bad business if they resigned him. And what you call sacrifices most ppl call injury prone. Also if he didn’t take less he wouldn’t have all those cups, stop being so soft and worrying about the millionaire who just got paid 32 million to play a game the next 4 years somewhere else.
They paid him
He got paid.
