It's been just over a week since Nashville Predators GM Barry Trotz announced that Steven Stamkos signed with the team. On today's Locked On Predators we are joined by Diandra Loux, site editor and reporter covering the Lightning for The Hockey News. Diandra shares the Tampa Bay perspective of the big free agency move that surprised many in the NHL and tells us how Lightning fans are reacting to the loss of their captain. She tells us what the message from Tampa Bay's front office has been and how Stamos' Lightning teammates are dealing with the decision. Finally, we discuss how Stamkos has navigated a difficult situation publicly and what Predators fans can expect from the veteran on and off the ice.
