From what Chris Dingman said this would have been laughed at in TB during the regular season but in the playoffs and being used less than 4 or 5 other fwd's he's become increasingly unhappy with how Cooper has been using him. Dingman says because of the playoffs the idea that was once a joke is now real. Stamkos may go UFA.
I think it would be great from a fan perspective to have a superstar test UFA. It's a rarity these days. From a reality perspective, I don't see how he doesn't re-sign. Either way the guy is going to be getting paid. 11+ at full term is my guess.
