The 'Hawks never had a shot at Stamkos. He will stay with Tampa. Anyone want to wager?
FWIW, Bob McKenzie is reporting that the Ehrhoff deal in Buffalo is for $40 million over 10 years. That's a decent AAV for Buffalo, but 10 years is a lot for Ehrhoff, who's 27 years old already.
Also, I have a little rant. The Trib talked to Brouwer yesterday, and he was b****ing about how Q always switches up the lines. He went on to say that a lot of the guys are sick of Bowman getting rid of the 2010 team. Hey Troy, somehow Bowman got a 1st round pick for you. Last season, you went invisible for stretches of 7-10 games. Q had to switch up the lines, because whatever line you were on, you weren't doing s*** to help the team get wins. Your ex-teammates should be praising Bowman for getting even a 3rd round pick in return for you, yet alone a 1st. BTW, you should be worried about how now you're on a team with 2 Russians who disappear every late April and May.
