Race between Detroit and Nashville for UFA's player?
Steven Stamkos's potential entry into free agency is generating significant buzz and rumours, especially with the Detroit Red Wings and Nashville Predators being primary contenders for his signature. The Lightning's slow approach to extension talks has fueled speculation about his future.
The Red Wings, which have cleared cap space through the Jake Wallman trade, are preparing to make a substantial offer. Chris Johnston from TSN Insider Trading highlighted Detroit's readiness to aggressively pursue Stamkos, seeing him as a key addition to their roster.
Similarly, the Nashville Predators are looking to upgrade their offense, with GM Barry Trotz showing strong interest in Stamkos. Pierre LeBrun reported that the Predators are expected to be active in their pursuit, aiming to leverage Stamkos talent to boost their offensive performance.
Whether Stamkos will hit free agency remains uncertain, but if he does, it could lead to a major bidding war, with the Red Wings and Predators at the forefront.
