Red Wings might be able to land Stamkos in the off-season

Stamkos is getting older as he is now 34 years old but that did not stop him from parking the puck in the back of the net 40 times this season.

There are multiple teams tied to signing Stamkos in the off-season but with the Red Wings $29.1 million in cap space, they surely can afford him.

Not only can the Wings afford to sign Stamkos but he would be bringing a lot to the table that Detroit is looking for, which is additional scoring and leadership, two things he knows a lot about. Stamkos has won multiple Stanley Cups and would be a great mentor to the younger player on the Wings that have yet to even see any playoff games.

If Yzerman is able to land Stamkos on a short-term deal, the Wings could benefit immensely from this addition to the lineup.
