Should probably not even bother asking then, eh?
You guys are aware that no big name in his prime free agent player has signed in Canada for at least 20 years, right?

Oh, go ahead and ask. Just don't get your hopes too high, it hurts more when they fall back down to cold harsh reality.

Curtis Joseph in 98, Mogilny in 2001.
I'm not a mathemagician, but both of those appear to the be within the last 20 years. Now, if you want to talk about simply within the salary cap era, a lot fewer players of that calibre have become free agents.
Ah yes, fall back down to the cold, harsh reality of only having Nylander, Rielly, Marner, and a top 4 pick to start to build around.
Cold, harsh reality's looking pretty ****ing good.
It's cute that you gloat about being among the worst teams in the nhl for years now. Cute in a Connor McDavid to edmonton kind of way.
20 ish years? My bad.
Whatever. The only feather in your cap during the salary cap era was Clarkson.
For the Habs it was Cammalleri.
Canada sucks at bringing in elite free agents.
Lou will not take no for an answer
Why would Stamkos go to a team that is in the beginning stages of a rebuild,
in a city with horrible winters,
where he will be under a microscope every time he steps out of his house?
Where he'll pay sky high taxes for that privilege?
Why wouldn't he just stay in Tampa, enjoy the climate, the relative anonymity, the bigger paycheck and overall lifestyle?
