The Steven Stamkos contract situation has been an eerily quiet one
The rumors have been swirling since the offseason. An extension was expected as soon as last season ended, and we have heard nothing regarding Steven Stamkos’ contract extension with the Tampa Bay Lightning. During training camp, analysts and fans alike determined that opening night was the soft deadline for Stamkos to re-sign with the Bolts. The season began, and no word was given on where contract negotiations were or how close a deal was to being reached.
