He mentions the Flames, Wild, Canadiens, Sharks and Rangers as teams that have come up in connection to Dvorak.
Dvorak, 25, is signed for four more seasons on his contract at a cap hit of $4.45 million. He had 17 goals and 14 assists in 56 games with the Coyotes last season.
The Rangers are close to a new contract with Igor Shesterkin worth between $5.75 and 6 million annually, reports Vince Mercogliano.
Shesterkin has played 47 NHL games, sporting a 2.59 GAA and a 0.921 SV%.
Marc-Andre Fleury has let the Blackhawks know that he will play for them in the upcoming season.
Fleury’s agent Allan Walsh reported that Fleury would take some time with his family to discuss his future after getting traded to Chicago, as he did not want to leave Vegas.
There were some rumors that a trade would be worked out with Pittsburgh if Fleury didn’t want to report to Chicago, but it was always Chicago’s intentions to have Fleury play for them.
