Steven Stamkos featured in several jerseys on The Hockey News cover

Let the free-agent frenzy begin.

Following the elimination of the Tampa Bay Lightning from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, attention has quickly turned to Steven Stamkos, who's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

On the cover of an upcoming issue of The Hockey News, the superstar forward - who'll be the hottest commodity on the open market if he doesn't re-sign with the Lightning - is depicted wearing the jersey of several potential suitors.

The field of teams will include the six clubs, but isn't limited to them.
