BriseBois revealed that there is currently no deal in place with the Bolts' captain. However, he met with Stamkos and his agent and they could reach an agreement that satisfies both sides before July 1st.
Stamkos, one of the most respected played in the NHL, will generate a lot of interest on the free agent market if he doesn't sign in Tampa Bay. Many teams should show interest, such as the Detroit Red Wings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens or Nashville Predators.
