Unsigned veteran forward linked to Detroit Red Wings
Erik Beaston of Bleacher Report starts rumors on potential landing spots for veteran forward James van Riemsdyk. Despite a solid season with the Boston Bruins, he remains unsigned, where he tallied 11 goals and 27 assists for 38 points.
Beaston identifies several teams, including the Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks, and Montreal Canadiens, that could benefit from van Riemsdyk's experience and consistent secondary offensive production.
Van Riemsdyk, 35, has recorded 47 goals and 58 assists for 105 points over the past three seasons across 214 games. Beaston also suggests that even teams not in desperate need of offensive help, such as the Vegas Golden Knights, might consider signing him to enhance their depth, particularly for a playoff push.
With 311 goals and 318 assists for 629 points in 1,011 career games, van Riemsdyk's reliability and veteran presence make him a compelling addition for any team looking to bolster their roster for a competitive edge in the NHL.
