Steven Stamkos Publicly Takes a Shot at Lightning Management

The current Tampa Bay Lightning group has experienced much success, and while many players have contributed to that success, it's hard to deny the impact that Steven Stamkos has had over that time.

Stamkos joined the team when he was drafted No. 1 overall back in 2008, and it's safe to say that team couldn't be more satisfied with the contributions he's made to this team from that moment.

In over 1000 games with the team, Stamkos has continued his run as more than point per game player, leading Tampa Bay to three Stanley Cup Finals appearances with two wins, but now, that could all be coming to an end.

The Lightning have locked down some big money players in recent years, and while many expected Stamkos to be next to land an extension, that's no longer the case, as he has taken a shot at management over the lack of communication.

Stamkos has revealed that he's still open to a return to the only NHL team he's known, and if the extension comes during the season, then that's okay, but at this point, it appears absolutely anything could happen.
