4 Free-Agent Destinations for Michael Bunting

Michael Bunting continues to be one of the better free-agent wingers left on the open market. The pesky forward is mulling over several offers, as he's certainly being patient with his decision on which team he's going to play for next season, and beyond. Bunting, 30, appeared in 61 games for the Nashville Predators last season before being moved to the Dallas Stars for their stretch, and Stanley Cup Playoff run. Bunting combined for 14 goals and 19 assists in 74 games, and also had one assist in his lone playoff game. Heading into next season, Bunting has been talking to a number of teams about a two, or three-year contract, and his hope is to land as long as term as possible. Bunting's expected to sign for $3.5 - $4.5 million AAV, and likely will push for a limited no-trade clause. As far as potential destinations go, the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs have held contract talks with Bunting's representatives, and could certainly close the deal here. Both teams know Bunting extremely well and it's more likely the Senators land Bunting out of these two Ontario teams. Another team to consider - the Montreal Canadiens. They need another top-nine winger and Bunting's pesky style of play could complement Montreal's group a ton. The Habs have over $13 million in cap space and GM Kent Hughes isn't done making roster adjustments. Bunting could find a home on the Canadiens' third line and if an injury occurs, has experience playing in the top six, with some pretty big names. Bunting's also been on the radar of the Edmonton Oilers, who are in a weird spot with trade cap after almost two weeks of free agency. Bunting knows the roster well, he's just going to have to decide if he wants to play for Mike Babcock. Would you be interested in the Oilers spending a portion of their remaining cap space on Michael Bunting?
