3 Potential Free-Agent Destinations for Ilya Lyubushkin

Ilya Lyubushkin is one of the many free agents from the Toronto Maple Leafs roster. Given his tenacious style of play and size, he should generate a good amount of interest if he hits the free agent market. Let's discuss three teams who could look to sign him now.

Toronto Maple Leafs: The Maple Leafs could certainly look to keep Lyubushkin around. He made their blueline tougher to go up against because of his high degree of physicality. With that, he played meaningful minutes for the Leafs, so that also could help his chances of staying put.

Calgary Flames: The Calgary Flames could look to add a tough defenseman like Lyubushkin to their roster. They lost two hard-nosed defenders in Chris Tanev and Nikita Zadorov this offseason and could use more toughness because of it. With that, their right side, in general, could use a boost, and Lyubushkin would give them just that.

Ottawa Senators: The Ottawa Senators are going to look to add to their depth on the right side of their defense. Bringing in a player like Lyubushkin could make sense for them because of it. They would benefit by adding a true shutdown defenseman to their roster, so they are a team to watch when it comes to Lyubushkin.
