Should Stamkos have signed in Nashville?

This hurts beyond words. Stamkos is the reason I'm a hockey fan. Watching the Lightning will never be the same.

Great interview. Excellent questions. It should not have unfolded like this. Does anyone need more proof that Stammer is a first class Captain, person & player? I don’t think so. The Preds have to be odds on favorite for Cup.

This never should've happened. Gonna miss you, Stammer. The first time I saw him play was on my 16th birthday. My parents had gotten tickets for Christmas. I'd not followed hockey at all until then. It was the night he scored with the spin-o-rama off the penalty shot. Became a fan that night. I'll never forget it. Thanks for everything, Stammer.

If Preds don’t get to the Cup now, there’s something wrong with the organization.

All time leader in points & goals for the lightning 16 seasons is insane

I don't think JBB had any real intention of keeping Stammer around. I don't blame him for taking the 8m offer to Nashville(which he wasn't even asking for in Tampa).

Stamkos is the definition of a class act. A consummate professional.

Stamkos is a class act. I was never a Bolts fan, but was happy to see him lift two cups. Maybe a third is on the way.

Can guarantee one thing. The return to Tampa next season is gonna be an emotional one. Blows my mind that Stammers gonna be in a different jersey come October

The Leafs need to play this way with Marner.

He’s a legend and a clear future Hall of Famer. I am not a Lightning or Pred fan. I am a hockey fan. I wish him nothing but happiness and success in the future.
