BriseBois and Stamkos both express desire to keep The Captain in Tampa Bay

At the start of the season, BriseBois said contract talks with the Lightning's all-time leader in games played, goals and points would be put on hold until the offseason. Stamkos didn't let that affect his play, finishing the regular season with 40 goals and 81 points before leading Tampa Bay in goals during the playoffs, scoring five in as many games. “When you don't have control of the situation, I think you just have to come to terms with that,” Stamkos said Wednesday morning.
