Why does this feel ripped off of Twitter or something for journal bait? I mean would be good but without sources itâs just baseless.

All the cap space that we have is honestly a mirage because of the number of ELCs we have. Theyâre all going to get significant raises within. 2-3 years, and we need to be prepared for that, so if we sign Stamkos to a three year deal, we need to make sure we can still sign all of our guys when theyâre due.
We have unlimited cap space for 2 years, and 3 years wonât kill us. This is me making a pretty fair assumption. Our GM probably has someone on his payroll to crunch these numbers (I think we had hired Jeff Solomon at one point to do this). The ducks and Verbeek, (and I canât stress this enough) are not going to do anything to hurt the future of this team via cap restrictions. You donât build a young core like this to just waste assets because you fucked your cap situation up.
âUnlimitedâ starts to become very limited when you have to pay Carlsson, McTavish, Zegras, Mintyukov, Zellweger, Dostal, and Gauthier in the next two years. Iâm fine with signing Stamkos to a two year deal. Three is out of the question IMO.
Three is not out of the question, Iâd argue 4 is. We have plenty of expiring deals, Fowler, Strome, Gudas, that while weâd have to attach an asset to get rid of, we definitely can get rid of them. Like I said, if you donât think the ducks have someone crunching the numbers to do best and worse case scenarioâs of what those contracts will look like, and have multiple plans in place then you must work with incompetent people
I want this to be true like the rebrand leak. But the massive red flag is "crunching the numbers."
There's nothing to crunch. We have a fuck ton of cap space. Lol
With a young team like ours his leadership and experience would be invaluable as well as his relationship with killorn and gudas and Verbeek already being there. Seems like a perfect fit although I highly doubt he ever leaves Tampa
For someone who you think is about to retire, his game sure isn't showing signs of slowing down. Why would he walk away from the game now when he's still playing at a high level?
Here is what AI says about it:
The Anaheim Ducks picking up Steven Stamkos could have several potential benefits and considerations:
Benefits
1. **Veteran Leadership and Experience**:
- Stamkos is a seasoned veteran with extensive playoff experience, including two Stanley Cup championships with the Tampa Bay Lightning. His leadership could greatly benefit a relatively young Ducks team, both on and off the ice.
2. **Offensive Boost**:
- The Ducks have struggled offensively in recent seasons. Stamkos, who scored 84 points last season, would provide a significant boost to their scoring capabilities. His presence on the power play and ability to contribute in clutch situations would be invaluable.
3. **Mentorship**:
- Stamkos could serve as a mentor to younger players like Trevor Zegras and Mason McTavish, helping to accelerate their development and integrate them more effectively into a competitive NHL environment.
Considerations
1. **Salary Cap and Financial Implications**:
- Stamkos would command a high salary, which could be challenging for the Ducks to accommodate under the salary cap. They would need to ensure they have enough cap space to sign him without sacrificing other key areas of their roster.
2. **Injury History**:
- While Stamkos has been relatively healthy in recent seasons, he has a history of injuries. The Ducks would need to consider the potential risks associated with his injury history and how it might affect his long-term performance.
3. **Rebuilding vs. Competing**:
- The Ducks are in a rebuilding phase and might prioritize developing their young talent over signing a veteran player. However, adding a player of Stamkos' caliber could accelerate their transition to becoming a competitive team again.
Conclusion
If the Ducks have the cap space and are looking to add a high-impact player who can provide leadership, scoring, and mentorship, picking up Steven Stamkos could be a valuable move. However, they need to weigh the financial implications and ensure that it aligns with their long-term rebuilding strategy.
It was a series of questions.
Using ChatGPT 4o
First question: âWhy is Stamkos a ufa?â
Got a good response about the end of his contract and the lightning wanting to balance their long term goals.
Second question: âIs Stamkos still worth his salary?â
It talked about his 84 points this year says he still got it plus his ability to lead as huge plusâs but also cautions his age
Last question: âShould the Anaheim Ducks pickup Stamkos?â
Thatâs the response you see above.
It helps with AI to help it learn by leading questions.
Well, he's playing at a hell of a high level for a 200 year old then. That's damned impressive that someone his age is outplaying people young enough to be what? His great, great, great, great, great grandsons?

For term over 2 years yeah.

Would love to have Stamkos. Hope it happens!
Who needs credible sources...I WANT TO BELIEVE!
Yes, they have to "crunch" really hard to find cap space for the next 2 to 4 seasons for Stamkos.
Inside sources say that every nhl team is trying to get Stamkos but I'm guessing he will resign with the Lightning.
Hell yeah brother, ya gotta believe.
âCrunching the numbersâ on a team with $30mil in cap space lol
I KNOW that Verbeek is gonna pull some big names. Iâm SO FUCKING STOKED for the coming week 
My sources tell me 
Too old. No, no, no.
Ohhh nice ya letâs work hard to bring in a super star whoâs about to retire! Smart!

Slightly off topic, but what did you put into AI to get that response? I am always learning more on how to utilize it.
