Nikita Kucherov gave a very candid interview about the Tampa Bay Lightning's season. "There were other guys who just sat in the team. They got their money and stopped working. They knew that they had no competition, that Tampa would not take anyone. They did not play so well this year - this is evident from both statistics and movement." Speaking of statistics, take a look at the numbers for players who "got their money" heading into this season - namely Alex Killorn and Victor Hedman. [Raw Charge]
Regardless of his sentiments about this season, Kucherov remains committed to playing in Tampa.
