The NHL offseason has reached the point of “no man’s land”. For the Tampa Bay Lightning, their offseason work is likely just about over, at least as far as this upcoming season is concerned. Two big pieces of business now loom over the summertime and those are potential extensions for Steven Stamkos and Brandon Hagel who will both be Unrestricted Free Agents at the end of this upcoming season.
Both players have been eligible for extensions since free agency opened on July 1. But with the Lightning having so many free agents and decisions to make this summer, future deals for Stamkos and Hagel have been put on the back burner.
