In what may be a huge day for the Nashville Predators, possibly bringing in Brady Skjei and Jonathan Marchessault, they could be looking at a deep run next year.
Steven Stamkos appears to have been swiftly replaced by the Tampa Bay Lightning with their acquisition and signing of Jake Guentzel. Guentzel commented on the Steven Stamkos drama today:
Guentzel was asked about the possibility of Stamkos leaving as he's coming in: «He's a Hall of Famer. He's a special player. I have the most utmost respect for the guy.»
«I'm not really sure on what's going on or what happened. Hopefully, there's still a chance he can come back. I would love to play with him and see where it goes.» #GoBolts
