Report: 4 Canadian teams have engaged in talks with Rieder

Tobias Rieder appears to be a hot commodity north of the border.

The pending unrestricted free agent has reportedly engaged with four of the seven Canadian teams ahead of July 1, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Rieder was due to become a restricted free agent, but he didn't receive a qualifying offer from the Los Angeles Kings.

Rieder was acquired by the Kings in February from the Arizona Coyotes in a deal that sent goaltender Darcy Kuemper to the Coyotes. Following the trade, Rieder put up just four goals and two assists in 20 games.

The 25-year-old is coming off a two-year, $4.45-million contract.
