The Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Florida Panthers, and New York Islanders are among the teams interested in unrestricted free-agent defenseman Ryan Suter, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Suter could make his decision by Monday - two days before free agency opens - Friedman adds.
The 36-year-old was bought out by the Minnesota Wild last week. Suter tallied three goals and 16 assists in 56 games this past season while averaging 22:11 per contest. His underlying numbers were still stellar, specifically on offense.
The Bruins (Jeremy Lauzon), Avalanche (Ryan Graves), Stars (Jamie Oleksiak), and Islanders (Nick Leddy) have all already lost key defensemen this offseason.
