Tampa Bay Lightning captain and team backbone Steven Stamkos expressed disappointment today that he doesn't have a contract extension yet. He told reporters he expected one to be done over the summer, but there weren't even any talks. Bolts GM Julian Brisebois has now addressed the situation, and his answer has angered some fans.
Brisebois' answer isn't sitting well with many. There's a feeling that the GM essentially told his captain, star player, and lifelong member of the team that he's only as good as his last season played, and that his commitment to the Bolts throughout the years means little.
