Steven Stamkos gives the Nashville Predators a three-team list
TSN: Steven Stamkos doesn’t want to be traded, as he’s happy in Nashville, and he’s armed with a full-movement clause. He did prepare himself in the event the Predators were thinking of approaching him to waive, as he provided a list of three teams that he would waive to, according to Pierre LeBrun.
“They’ve prepared themselves by coming up with a list of preferred destinations. I’m told that list is topped by the Tampa Bay Lightning, and then the Dallas Stars, and then the Minnesota Wild, are the three teams on that list.
To a certain degree, New Jersey, the Devils tried to sign him two years ago, but certainly it’s the Lightning, Stars, and Wild, and obviously Tampa Bay, boy, that’s a juicy angle if that could ever happen.”
LeBrun adds that he thinks it may be more of an offseason trade, as opposed to an in-season move.

“There’s still lots of time, and I think he’s inclined to wait to see if perhaps some other teams step up and try to make a deal with the Canucks. The Stars, for example, are a team that are known to have some interest in him, and I believe he’d like to play there if that could work out.”
