I don't even know what to make of this. I doubt it happens, and why does everything have to involve Toronto? Don't know the credibility either.
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/frequentflyers/124478074.html?cmpid=15585797It has long been reported that the Maple Leafs - and it should be noted that Toronto is Stamkos’ hometown team - under general manager Brian Burke would be willing to put in an offer sheet for Stamkos if the opportunity presented itself. It has been reported that Burke could offer as much as $9 million per season for Stamkos.
First, that cannot happen until July 1, when Stamkos officially becomes a restricted free agent. Second, the Lightning can choose to match any offer sheet or walk away and accept the compensation.
The compensation would be 4 first round draft picks, one pick per year for four years.
