Last week, Joe Smith at The Athletic sat down (or called, or Zoomed, who knows how they’re doing interviews these days) with Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and discussed a range of topics, including a brief comment on the future of his general manager, Julien BriseBoise.
BriseBois is entering the final year of his contract. Have talks started on that? How optimistic are you in a long-term extension?
Julien has done a tremendous job. I believe he’s done a tremendous job. He’s a tremendous person. And there’s tremendous odds we’ll extend his contract.
