Victor Hedman could refuse to be captain after Steven Stamkos departure
Victor Hedman has opened up about former captain Steven Stamkos' departure in free agency and the possibility of becoming captain.
Steven Stamkos' departure from the Tampa Bay Lightning to the Nashville Predators on July 1 sent shockwaves through the NHL, leaving many in disbelief and upset.
Victor Hedman, a longtime defenseman for the Lightning, recently shared his thoughts on Stamkos' exit, praising him as a "perfect captain" in an interview with Chris Johnston of TSN.
