The interview with Yzerman at the draft told the tail.  He was absolutely flummoxed when asked about the state of the Stamkos negotiations, lots of frustration showing on his face.

Maybe Holland can remind Yzerman about the gift of a 1st rounder we gave him for Q, he could maybe convince Stamkos to accept the sign and trade to Detroit.

I got the same feeling watching that interview with Stevie.  I didn’t even listen to what he said…. just watched his eyes and that spoke volumes….I think he would love to have Stamkos back, but looked resigned to him being somewhere else next year. Hopefully he gets a mid level pick for trading negotiating rights..tough spot for Yzerman.

Not to rain on the the parade of Stamkos to the Wings tak by the talking heads on nbc tonight, but if I had a bet to place, he is in a leafs sweater come July 1st.

Work some Magic, Stevie!  Send us a ringer!  We’ll be good to you.
