Per a new report, Nashville Predators forward Steven Stamkos is allegedly willing to go to one of three different teams if he were to be dealt away from Nashville before the trade deadline.
Right now, the Nashville Predators are four points outside of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, and getting into the playoffs isn't an impossible goal.
But the Predators could very well be thinking of trading veteran players Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, both of whom they signed in 2024.
Even though Stamkos allegedly doesn't want to be traded, there are teams he'd allegedly be willing to moved to.
Per a new report from NHL analyst Pierre LeBrun, Stamkos would be willing to be moved to one of three teams, including the Tampa Bay Lightning.
LeBrun on Insider Trading says Stamkos does not want out of Nashville, but just in case management comes to him with some offers they have received, Stamkos camp have prepared themselves with a list of preferred destinations, list is topped by Tampa, Dallas and then Minnesota. - NHL Watcher
So far this year in his second season in a Predators sweater, Stamkos has 44 points (28G, 16A) in 57 games.
Steven Stamkos Is In His Second Year With The Predators
Stamkos, who was the first overall pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the Tampa Bay Lightning, won two Stanley Cups as Lightning captain in 2020 and 2021.
He also helped them to a third straight appearance in the Stanley Cup Final against the Colorado Avalanche in 2022, but they fell short.
A future Hall of Famer, Stamkos has 1,234 points (610G, 624A) in 1,221 games with the Lightning and Predators.
He still has two years left with an AAV (average annual value) of $8 million on his contract.
