Steven Stamkos, Nashville Predator, on @Sportsnet : "It's been a roller coaster of emotions... We can look ourselves in the mirror and say, 'We tried our best to make it work in Tampa.'"
Thank you Tampa ❤️❤️ I don't have the words yet .. I will soon .
It's still too early to process. Just wanted everyone to know how thankful we are for 16 years as a bolt.
My family and I are excited for the next chapter.
