Longtime NHL Captain Set To Be Apart Of Blockbuster Trade
In a significant development, reports suggest that the Tampa Bay Lightning are open to trade offers for their captain, Steven Stamkos.
Elliotte Friedman discloses that teams are eyeing Stamkos as a potential acquisition if he remains unsigned, expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of a deal before the season began. With Stamkos in the final year of his contract and Tampa Bay hovering around playoff contention, trade discussions are looming.
Stamkos, a cornerstone of the Lightning franchise, has openly expressed his frustration with the ongoing contract situation. As the face of the team, he has led them to two Stanley Cups and is a multi-year all-star on track for the Hall of Fame.
Over 500 goals
Over 1,000 points

Future Hall of Famer
Greatest player in Tampa sports history
Steven Stamkos went through it all to become a legend.
Despite the natural progression of age, Stamkos remains a force on the ice with 24 points in 23 games this season and an impressive 84-point performance last season. If Tampa Bay considers their dynasty era over, trading their long-time captain could yield a valuable return.
As Stamkos' contract negotiations unfold, the future of the Lightning's iconic captain hangs in the balance.
