Friedman Drops a Bombshell Regarding Steven Stamkos
Elliotte Friedman is often the first insider to report big news, and what he revealed is now causing a major stir in Tampa Bay.
Friedman Makes Huge Revelation on Stamkos in Tampa Bay
On the latest episode of 32 Thoughts, Friedman discussed Steven Stamkos' situation in Tampa Bay.
The 33-year-old captain will be a free agent next summer, and there are a lot of rumors circulating about his future.
Friedman shared what he had heard, and it's causing quite a buzz.
The Stamkos Era in Tampa Could Be Over
If what Friedman reported is accurate, it might mean that Stamkos will play his final season in Tampa this year.
Stamkos was drafted by the Lightning in 2008, has played 1003 games, and has scored 1056 points since.
He was named captain in 2014 and will leave a significant legacy with the franchise.
If he truly wants to stay, he could consider a reduced salary in Tampa. This might persuade Julien BriseBois to retain him.
Who do you think will be named captain if Stamkos signs elsewhere?
