2 Potential Landing Spots for Tyler Bozak
St Louis Blues forward Tyler Bozak is looking for a new contract and at 35 years old he knows this one may be his last. The veteran pivot can still contribute to an NHL roster and should be hearing from a couple of teams once free agency begins towards the end of July.
2 Teams Who Could Come Calling for Bozak
Edmonton Oilers: The Oilers thought Kyle Turris was going to be their #3 center last season and quite frankly it just didn't work out. The team is desperate for a right-handed third-line center and Bozak, who is from western Canada could be a perfect fit. At his age his foot speed may not be what it used to be, however he's still able to win almost 57% of his faceoffs which is something the Oilers could use a ton of.
Colorado Avalanche: The University of Denver product still has a tremendous amount of ties to the area and could head to the Avs to finish out his career. It's ironic because the Avs are expected to trade Bozak's buddy Nazem Kadri this summer which would open up another spot down the middle for the team. Bozak could be a cheaper replacement and is less likely to get suspended in the playoffs.
