The Vancouver Canucks and Steven Stamkos have been linked several times over the past weeks. Most of the time, it was nothing more than fans dreaming. But when guys like Elliotte Friedman and Pierre LeBrun mention Stamkos and Vancouver in the same sentence, it makes you wonder: how realistic is that scenario?
LeBrun: "It would not surprise me, if Stamkos went to July 1, if Vancouver was a team that made an offer, for example." #Canucks

Well, all LeBrun said in the quote above is that Vancouver will have a lot of cap space at the end of this season, so we might all want to calm down again.
