Right before i beggin i ask anione that started to read, to continue to the end and not judge me after reading half of what i have to say.
We hear about Stamkos the whole time this year im not surprized since there is much preise around, anione that knows about NHL heard the name Stamkos atleast once in his life. Top prospect for sure is he second comming of Crosby? We are yet to find that out are we.
Now this is not "I hate Stamkos" thread actualy the more I read about the kid more i want him on Kings roster... BUT I dont appreciate all the "Lets tank for Stamkos" threads, quotes,etc. Kings should think TEAM first and i think they do, but we fans have some other ideas sometimes and I simply will trie to show those guys a different wiev.
Ok ill get to the point. I did some calculations and only if we become "Red Kings" will our team fall out of bottom five so i realy see no point in bashing "team spirit building" wins like the one against Detroit.
let me show u:
kings are 12-16-1 HOME and 11-14-2 AWAY at this time. If they play like Red Wings from now on they end up with 93pts.
If they play like Canucs (15th) from now on they end up with:
18-21-2 HOME 17-19-5 AWAY and 81pts
while if other bottom4 teams play like they did til now they get:
Tampa:
20-18-3 H 14-22-5 A ... 75pts
Toronto:
18-15-8 H 14-21-6 A ... 78pts
Chicago:
20-20-1 H 17-18-6 A ... 81pts
New York I.:
19-18-4 H 17-19-5 A ... 81pts
Now I can prety sure say we are and will be in the run for Stamkos.
And i made some nice app to show u just how 100% we get Stamkos if we tank the season:
Play a bit with it and share your thoughts. I tried to be objective and this is my little contribution to open those fans eyes who blindly belive that us beeing 30th is 100% stamkos on roster and that no matter how big collateral dmg. is its worth it.
I sure dont belive that and be asured even if we raise place or two it doesnt mean we loose Stamkos. And btw even if we do its supose to be deep draft and i ask u what about other draftees?
