are there any tampa fans here who have an idea who he's talking about?

Some people on the /r/hockey thread were naming names. I haven't watched Tampa too much, so I can't say how wrong/right they were.

A ton of players got new contracts this summer but most people think he's talking about Killorn. The other big contracts were Stamkos and Hedman and Hedman had a career year...

Not really, so don't take this as any kind of for sure, but the bit about getting the money so now he doesn't work as hard makes me think it might be Killorn, he signed a really long fairly big contract last summer. I didnt watch a ton of games this year so I don't know how he played over the whole year but he's my guess.

Not a Tampa fan, but his most frequent linemates (aside from Namestikov & Stamkos), have been Tyler Johnson (and I've actually heard a lot of rumblings that it's time for Johnson to walk/Tampa won't re-sign him, but his contract is up and he's had a lot of injuries), Brayden Point (Point is rookie, I think, so I doubt he'd be in the made-his-money-and-doesn't-care category), Ondrej Palat (Palat's play has gone down, but it's hard to say if that's because he doesn't care or because he's was playing above his talents and has now come back to earth — he was a 7th-rounder after all, plus he's only got another year on his contract), and Alex Killorn (who is signed for another 6 years, so my money's on him).

He had a lot of praise for Point in his exit interview this year, so it's not him. It probably is Killorn, but I found his other comments about line mates basically not being able to keep up with him surprising if he is talking about Johnson and Palat. That line was known for their chemistry in the past but I guess it is possible that he's gotten better than them. At least he liked Stamkos.
