With Stamkos getting 8.5 and his buddy Hedman getting 7.875 or whatever it is, I'd imagine there'd be a ton of pressure for the new guy in the room not to blow up the team's existing salary structure.
Even if he comes in at around $8.25M, with Kucherov and Point needing contracts, that's still a tight squeeze. They'd basically have to blow up their existing depth.
That said, how funny would it be if the 10 million a year offer is seen as some sort of insulting attempt to save face by the Sens and he goes and signs for 80% of that in Tampa.
