Stamkos reflected on the emotions he had when he won the Cup twice with the Lightning in 2020 and 2021,
expressing his desire to replicate that success with Nashville.
«We want to win a Stanley Cup. That's why we play the game,» Stamkos said Tuesday when he met the media at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. «I think some people are sometimes afraid to say that and it heightens expectations, but at the end of the day I've always been a big believer that you have to believe you can do it in order to achieve it.»
Stamkos, who spent his entire career with Tampa Bay until signing a four-year, $32 million contract with the Lightning on July 1st, amassed 1,137 points in 1,082 games.
The Predators are aiming to secure their first-ever Stanley Cup, following what many experts hailed as the team's most successful free agency day in history. They bolstered their roster with notable signings like Jonathan Marchessault, Brady Skjei, Scott Wedgewood, and the addition of Stamkos.
