Among the rumors of players linked to the Canadiens, there are, of course, Martin Necas and Trevor Zegras, but also Steven Stamkos, who could join Martin St-Louis and Vincent Lecavalier.
Negotiations between Julien Brisebois and him have not been very smooth, or even existent, and by his own admission, it has bothered the captain of the Bolts.
Moreover, the Lightning was already up against the salary cap and they added Ryan McDonagh, which makes things even more difficult for a contract extension.
In a turn of events, according to David Pagnotta, Stamkos will re-sign with the Lightning, just like Sam Reinhart with the Panthers.
We know that Julien Brisebois, the GM of the Bolts, has more than one trick up his sleeve. I am eager to see how he plans to make his salary cap work with Stamkos extended.
