In case you haven't heard from literally every media outlet in hockey, Steven Stamkos is probably going to test unrestricted free agency. The Lightning can't keep Stamkos and expect to fit all of their young talent under the salary cap next offseason. Steve Yzerman knows this and also recognizes that sacrificing two or three of his superb young players just to keep Stamkos is a losing strategy. To quote Bo Schembechler, "No man is more important than The Team." Yzerman's keeping his team intact, even if it means letting Stamkos hit free agency.
Anyway, what can Steven Stamkos realistically offer the Red Wings?
