TAMPA — It seems like just yesterday that Lightning season ended. Stanley Cup runs will do that.
Now training camp in Brandon is less than a month away.
Where, oh, where is that new Steven Stamkos contract?
It’s not time to panic, or begin Photoshopping a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey onto Stamkos.
But feel free to raise those eyebrows.
And you might want to feel around for the panic button just in case.
I’m surprised there haven’t been serious negotiations between Bolts GM Steve Yzerman, Stamkos and Stamkos’ agent.
Really?
Can somebody reach out to somebody here, or is this a game of chicken?
