Overview
- NHL insider Pierre LeBrun reports New Jersey has discussed Steven Stamkos internally among potential trade targets.
- Nashville is willing to hear offers for the veteran forward, but there is no indication of direct talks between the Devils and Predators.
- Stamkos is in year two of a four-year contract with an $8 million average annual value through 2028 and a full no-move clause.
- His output has declined, dropping to 53 points last season and tracking toward roughly 33 points this year despite a recent mini-surge.
- New Jersey previously pursued him in 2024 free agency, and any deal before the March 6 deadline could face salary-cap hurdles or require retention.
