Amid contract speculation and rumors, Steven Stamkos focuses on Lightning season

[mishey]

 

There was a blockbuster deal set up with the Sabres after the NHL draft. Another one had the Lightning captain potentially heading to Calgary. But Stamkos wouldn't waive his no-move clause.

 

"You heard that?" Stamkos asked. "I've heard those same rumors."

 

Were they true? Of course not, Stamkos said, adding that he never even has been asked by the Lightning to waive his no-move clause, which kicked in after this year's draft for the final year of his contract. But such speculation is part of the Stamkos silly season that will continue until the day the 25-year-old superstar center signs a contract extension with the Lightning — or moves on.

I thought about adding this to the existing thread, but then I was like "How many different articles can we see about this?" so I made it its own post. 

 

So, again with him saying he wants to stay here. 

 

"I've definitely loved every second I've been here, and I want to be here and win with this team,"
