Nikita Kucherov is looking to leave the Tampa Bay Lightning after 13 seasons and two Stanley Cups with the franchise, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Friday.
According to Friedman, Kucherov "has informed both his teammates and the Lightning organization that he will not be re-signing with Tampa Bay and would like to be traded."
Kucherov, 33, is playing in the final year of his eight-year, $9.5 million AAV contract with the Lightning.
The reigning Hart Trophy winner has 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 12 games of the Lightning's 8-3-1 start to the season.
