Leafs Rumour Mill

Leafs have “plan in place” to offer Stamkos non-capped marketing dollars: McCown
Do the Leafs have a plan to pay Stamkos 3.5M in non-cap dollars per year thru marketing? Told the proposal has been vetted!

Buffalo, Boston, Vancouver, Detroit in on Stamkos: Associated Press
Stamkos is set to be, as Sabres general manager Tim Murray put it, the potential “big fish” in the league’s free-agency period, which opens Friday.
Buffalo, Boston and Vancouver are among the teams to have already expressed interest in Stamkos.
And others, as in the case of Toronto and Detroit, have freed up more than $10 million in salary cap space with an expectation they will jump into the bidding for the four-time, 40-goal scoring star.
