Stamkos scored 40 goals with the Lightning in 2023–24 but is currently without a contract for next season and beyond.
It’s the kind of question that will fuel debates around the hockey world for the next two months — or, at the very least, until he re-signs. The last time Stamkos needed a new deal, he waited all the way until June 29, 2016 and was courted by numerous other teams before re-upping with the Bolts on an eight-year pact.
Stamkos is coming off his seventh career 40-goal season with the Lightning. He’s won two championships with the team that drafted him first overall back in 2008. Yes, he just turned 34 in February, but he did his part in the playoffs with five goals in five games against the Florida Panthers and seems to love it in Tampa.
But … then again, Stamkos still doesn’t have a contract for the 2024–25 season and beyond.
