NHL Rumors: 2 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Alexander Edler

Veteran NHL defenseman Alexander Edler still plans to play next season but at the time of this writing, he has yet to find a home. However, when noting that he has a plethora of NHL experience, there could be a club out there willing to sign him for insurance to a cheap one-year deal. Let's discuss two possible landing spots for him now.

Tampa Bay Lightning: The Tampa Bay Lightning would benefit from adding to the left side of their defensive group. Edler would give them another possible option for their bottom pairing. Furthermore, they would give him the chance to play for a contender, and that is big when noting that he still has not won a Stanley Cup.

Dallas Stars: The Dallas Stars could also consider taking a shot on Edler. They could use more depth, and Edler would give them a good option to work with. He also would give them another veteran to help mentor their younger players, which is a nice perk.
