Lightning Rumors: 3 Free-Agent Destinations for Anthony Duclair


Anthony Duclair is one of the more notable pending unrestricted free agents heading into the summer. The skilled winger started the year off slowly with the San Jose Sharks but picked up his play following his move to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Because of this, there is a good chance that he will generate a lot of interest if he hits the market this offseason. Let's discuss three teams who could look to sign him now.

Tampa Bay Lightning: The Lightning have limited cap space, but it would not be surprising if they aimed to re-sign Duclair. He fit in beautifully into their top six and gave them a lot more scoring. Thus, if he is willing to take a discount to stay, the Lightning would be silly not to bring him back.

Dallas Stars: The Dallas Stars are likely to add to their forward group this offseason. They could use more scoring in their middle six, so a player like Duclair could grab their attention. He would give their offense a boost and work on their power play.

Utah: Utah has made it known that they are going to be aggressive this offseason. They want to be competitive immediately, so a player like Duclair could grab their attention. He would fit into their top six and give them some much-needed scoring.
