It seems as if the topic on the top of everyone’s minds here in the Bolts Nation as of late has been the ongoing negotiations between the Tampa Bay Lightning and their captain Steven Stamkos.
The topic has been discussed far and wide by everyone from the fans in the stands to the media in the press box; however, there is one person who will not be getting involved in the Stamkos contract negotiations. This person would be Tampa Bay Lightning Chairman and Governor Jeff Vinik.
According to Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune, Vinik has made it quite clear that he has no intentions of getting involved and the process and has full faith in Tampa Bay Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman’s decision making skills.
