The Nashville Predators were busy today, signing Jonathan Marchessault, Brady Skjei, and most importantly Tampa Bay Lightning legend Steven Stamkos.
Nashville Predators GM Barry Trotz turned his team around today, bringing in three of the biggest name free agents available.
In response to the signing, where Stamkos took a four-year $8 million annual deal over Tampa Bay's reported 8-year $3.5 million annual offer, he sent a goodbye to fans:
Thank you Tampa.
I don't have the words yet .. I will soon .
It's still too early to process. Just wanted everyone to know how thankful we are for 16 years as a bolt.
My family and I are excited for the next chapter.
