Yesterday, Steven Stamkos and the Lightning's season came to an end following their defeat against the Panthers. Now, the future of the captain in Tampa Bay is the subject of much speculation.

The contract of the Lightning's veteran player expires on July 1st, making him free to negotiate with all NHL teams. Both Stamkos and the management have discussed his future with the Lightning.

Some rumors suggest he may continue his career elsewhere. At 34 years old, Stamkos has just scored 41 goals and still has something very interesting to offer to an NHL team.

Former Canadiens scout, Grant McGagg, draws parallels between the Canadiens and Stamkos. It could be an interesting destination for the veteran, but also an important player in the Canadiens' resurgence.

"Steven Stamkos' career in Tampa Bay may be coming to an end. Considering his close relationship with Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St-Louis, I can't help but see him joining a line with Kirby Dach and on the power play with Lane Hutson, Juraj Slafkovsky, Nick Suzuki, and Cole Caufield." - Grant McCagg
