If you're already a 1st ballot HOFer and brought glory to the franchise multiple times, I say go ahead and quit to your heart's content.
I would love if some of our players quit asap so I can forget that this era has ever happened...
Honestly, I wouldn't give a 33yo a 6-year contract worth $120M, no matter what you've done for the franchise.

If that’s the impass then he misjudged. They let Stamkos go because he refused a low ball offer. And maybe this time Tampa can get assets for him.

Socialz rumourz that some of his Lightning teammates were allegedly chirping the softening of the Russian tournament ban which didn't sit well with him and added fuel to his fire.

Trade him to Washington so he can play with Ovie. They can swan song together.

So (again socialz driven to grains of salt as always) word out there has Kucherov wanting to pull a LeBron James and "team up" with star players on a limited number of clubs.
Montreal is one of them and Nikita has along history with Martin St. Louis who he credits with being a vital cog in paving his way into the league as a young player.
