I have avoided the Stamkos 'twitter like' because, well, it is just foolish to think Stamkos would like a tweet to give hints on his next destination.

Instead, I feel Stamkos won't sign anything until the salary cap number is set for next season, time is on his side.

Heck, he may even test the UFA market which is his prerogative. I will also say he won't be traded at the trade deadline unless the Bolts are out of the playoff picture.

And, someone tell me why he would go to the Leafs as a UFA? Yes, it is his hometown but the Leafs have at least a few more years of rebuilding and by that time, Stamkos would be past his prime.

from Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune,

And then came more social media madness on Wednesday, after his Twitter account showed he “liked’’ a story on TSN asking fans whether or not the Toronto Maple Leafs should pursue the pending unrestricted free agent and Toronto native this summer, should Stamkos not re-sign with Tampa Bay.

Just like the summer of 2014, when Stamkos set the social media world ablaze when he hit “favorite’’ on a story in The Hockey News asking whether he would be the next LeBron James and return to play for his hometown team, Stamkos called it an “accident,” a slip of the thumb.

Such is the world Stamkos lives in, where his every move is examined for any miniscule hint about his future.
