Bottom-six forwards such as Riley Sheahan, Troy Brouwer, and Jamie McGinn are all unrestricted free agents and are unlikely to return to Florida for the 2020 NHL season. Therefore, the Florida Panthers will undoubtedly seek reinforcements in order to improve their bottom six.
Russian forward Ivan Telegin is an intriguing name to keep an eye on. The 27-year-old, power forward is reportedly hoping to sign a contract with an NHL team following the IIHF tournament.
Telegin’s NHL rights currently belong to the Winnipeg Jets, but it’s unlikely the Jets will sign Telegin before he hits free agency on July 1st.
