It doesn't appear to be clear cut on where future NHL Hall of Famer Steven Stamkos will be in the starting going into his second year with the Nashville Predators.
Stamkos received a lot of criticism in his debut season with the Predators after coming in with enormous expectations riding the wave of the free agency spending by GM Barry Trotz. And despite being third on the team in points, that didn't matter when the team finished near the bottom of the NHL standings.
This team struggled to find chemistry with their additions right out of the gate and the season got away from them before we could even blink it felt like.
