The Nashville Predators were busy today, signing Jonathan Marchessault, Brady Skjei, and most importantly Tampa Bay Lightning legend Steven Stamkos.

Nashville Predators GM Barry Trotz turned his team around today, bringing in three of the biggest name free agents available.

In response to the signing, where Stamkos took a four-year $8 million annual deal over Tampa Bay's reported 8-year $3.5 million annual offer, he sent a goodbye to fans:

What a day for the Nashville Predators, but for Tampa Bay Lightning fans, while they did acquire Jake Guentzel, will have bittersweet emotions as they watch the man who captained them to two cups leave the organization.
