Let the Matt Beleskey sweepstakes begin.
The 27-year-old winger appears to be a hot commodity as the NHL's free agency period approaches, drawing interest from as many as a dozen teams, according to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.

Beleskey set career highs in goals (22), points (32), and shots (145) in 65 games with the Anaheim Ducks in 2013-14, posting positive possession numbers and an additional eight goals in the playoffs.
While he achieved the success on a rather inflated shooting percentage of 15.2, it's clearly not affecting the market.
Beleskey is set to visit some Eastern Conference clubs this week, with the ability to sign as an unrestricted free agent beginning July 1.
