Steven Stamkos is currently without a contract extension from the Tampa Bay Lightning and an insider has revealed a major update.
Insider Pierre LeBrun Drops Major News About Stamkos
Recently, Pierre LeBrun dropped some major news about Steven Stamkos' contract talks with the Lightning.
Pierre Lebrun believes the Tampa Bay Lightning and F Steven Stamkos WILL reach a contract agreement, but no discussions will occur until the season is complete.
This is certainly a risky game for the Lightning to be playing but because Stamkos has carved out his entire career with the Bolts, he has a higher chance of staying.
If he does hit the open market, he will receive a lot of interest as he is currently at 15 goals and 35 points through 32 games this season. Any team looking for a veteran kick would offer Stamkos a contract but the relationship between the Lightning and Stamkos may be impossible to beat.
