I think that might have been the sticking point, TB wanted a longer term, Stamkos/his agent didn't, the 5 year term takes hiim right to UFA. Also being only 21, he'll only be 26 when contract is up and if cap keeps going up/NHL revenues keep improving, a $7.5 cap hit, he might be underpaid if he signs long term.
