One of the most prized hockey players to hit the unrestricted free agent market in recent memory, Steven Stamkos is about to cash in big when he signs his next contract. Who he signs with is anyone’s guess.
Several teams, including the Red Wings, Sabres, Maple Leafs, Canucks, Rangers, Canadiens and Bruins have been linked as to having an interest in signing Stamkos. That list could grow as the rumour mill heats up before the first day of free agency this Friday.
Not to forget, there’s still a possibility that Stamkos decides to stay with the team that drafted him first overall in 2008, the Tampa Bay Lightning.
